Ultrafast proton radiography of the magnetic fields generated by a laser-driven coil current
Lan Gao, Hantao Ji, Gennady Fiksel +3
Magnetic fields generated by a current flowing through a U-shaped coil connecting two copper foils were measured using ultrafast proton radiography. Two 1.25 kJ, 1-ns laser p…
Mega-Gauss Plasma Jet Creation Using a Ring of Laser Beams
L. Gao, E. Liang, Y. Lu +11
Using 20 OMEGA laser beams at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, University of Rochester, to irradiate a flat plastic target in a hollow ring configuration, we created supersonic…
Plasma Flow Generation and Particle Acceleration from Expanding Magnetic Bubbles
Yang Zhang, Brandon K. Russell, Geoffrey Pomraning +9
Impulsive plasma dynamics in the laboratory are often driven by rising electric currents, yet their quantitative plasma response has not been well established. By means of fully ki…
Time-Resolved Interferometric Measurements of Plasma Density Evolution in Laser-Driven Capacitor-Coil Targets
Yang Zhang, Ryo Omura, Rinya Akematsu +17
Laser-driven capacitor-coil targets provide a compact platform for generating strong magnetic fields and are widely used in magnetized high-energy-density plasma experiments. In ad…
Record Magnetic Field Generation by Short-Pulse Laser-Driven Capacitor-Coil Targets
Lan Gao, Yang Zhang, Hantao Ji +6
Magnetic fields generated by capacitor-coil targets driven by intense short-pulse lasers have been characterized using ultrafast proton radiography. A 1-kJ, 15-ps laser at a center…
Diagnosing electric and magnetic fields in laser-driven coil targets
Yang Zhang, Lan Gao, Hantao Ji +6
Laser-driven capacitor coils are widely used to generate intense magnetic fields for various applications in high-energy-density physics research. Accurate measurement of the magne…
