Cross-beam energy transfer saturation by ion trapping-induced detuning
K. L. Nguyen, L. Yin, B. J. Albright +5
The performance of direct-drive inertial confinement fusion implosions relies critically on the coupling of laser energy to the target plasma. Cross-beam energy transfer (CBET), th…

Particle Velocity Distributions in Developing Magnetized Collisionless Shocks in Laser-Produced Plasmas
D. B. Schaeffer, W. Fox, R. K. Follett +5
We present the first laboratory observations of time-resolved electron and ion velocity distributions in forming, magnetized collisionless shocks. Thomson scattering of a probe las…
