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…
Measurement of ion acceleration and diffusion in a laser-driven magnetized plasma
J. T. Y. Chu, J. W. D. Halliday, C. Heaton +25
Here we present results from an experiment performed at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research. A mono-energetic beam of chromium ions with initial energies of …
Data-driven modeling of shock physics by physics-informed MeshGraphNets
S. Zhang, M. Mallon, M. Luo +4
High-resolution fluid simulations for plasma physics and astrophysics rely on Particle in cell (PIC) and hydrodynamic solvers (e.g., FLASH) to resolve shock dominated, multiscale p…
Design of experiments characterising heat conduction in magnetised, weakly collisional plasma
T. A. Vincent, P. Ariyathilaka, L. Creaser +15
Heat conduction in weakly collisional, magnetised plasma is challenging to model accurately due to multifaceted physics governing heat-carrying electrons, including microinstabilit…
Validation of FLASH for magnetically driven inertial confinement fusion target design
C. Leland Ellison, Jonathan Carroll-Nellenback, Chiatai Chen +20
FLASH is a widely available radiation magnetohydrodynamics code used for astrophysics, laboratory plasma science, high energy density physics, and inertial confinement fusion. Incr…
