Observation of electromagnetic filamentary structures produced by the Weibel instability in laser-driven plasmas
G. D. Sutcliffe, P. J. Adrian, J. A. Pearcy +6
We present experimental observations of electron-scale structures in an expanding high-energy-density (HED) plasma generated with a modest intensity W/cm$^2…
Diagnosing Magnetic Fields in Cylindrical Implosions with Oblique Proton Radiography
P. V. Heuer, L. S. Leal, J. R. Davies +8
Two experiments on the OMEGA Laser System used oblique proton radiography to measure magnetic fields in cylindrical implosions with and without an applied axial magnetic field. Alt…
Magnetized ICF Implosions: Scaling of Temperature and Yield Enhancement
C. A. Walsh, S. O'Neill, J. P. Chittenden +11
This paper investigates the impact of an applied magnetic field on the yield and hot-spot temperature of inertial confinement fusion implosions. A scaling of temperature amplificat…
Experiments conducted in the burning plasma regime with inertial fusion implosions
J. S. Ross, J. E. Ralph, A. B. Zylstra +149
An experimental program is currently underway at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) to compress deuterium and tritium (DT) fuel to densities and temperatures sufficient to achiev…
Collisionless shock acceleration of narrow energy spread ion beams from mixed species plasmas using 1 m lasers
A. Pak, S. Kerr, N. Lemos +15
Collisionless shock acceleration of protons and C ions has been achieved by the interaction of a 10 W/cm, 1 m laser with a near-critical density plasma. Ablati…
Ultrafast Imaging of Laser Driven Shock Waves using Betatron X-rays from a Laser Wakefield Accelerator
J. C. Wood, D. J. Chapman, K. Poder +21
Betatron radiation from laser wakefield accelerators is an ultrashort pulsed source of hard, synchrotron-like x-ray radiation. It emanates from a centimetre scale plasma accelerato…
Self-modulated laser wakefield accelerators as x-ray sources
N. Lemos, J. L. Martins, F. S. Tsung +5
The development of a directional, small-divergence, and short-duration picosecond x-ray probe beam with an energy greater than 50 keV is desirable for high energy density science e…
