Helical jets driven by a ring of laser irradiation
Kian Orr, Brandon K. Russell, Kirill Lezhnin +5
Plasma jets are formed in various astrophysical systems as plasma is rapidly ejected from a source, with a subset of these jets being magnetized and having a helical structure. Her…
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…
