On the generation of astrophysically-relevant intermittent magnetic turbulence in the laboratory
Itamar Cohen, Weipeng Yao, Archie F. A. Bott +18
Intermittent magnetic turbulence, namely the presence of non-ordered and clusterized fields, is a ubiquitous phenomenon in space and astrophysical plasmas. It is currently understo…
Simultaneous PW-scale laser driven MeV X-ray and neutron beam characterization for dual probing capability
I. Cohen, W. Yao, N. Mirkovic +28
Laser-driven, high-brilliance secondary sources (electrons, ions, neutrons, X-rays) open new perspectives for compact material probing and imaging of high-speed events. A key advan…
Laboratory evidence of electron pressure anisotropy driving plasmoid mediated magnetic reconnection
A. Sladkov, T. Waltenspiel, H. Ahmed +8
Plasmoid-driven magnetic reconnection in elongated current sheets is suspected to be an ubiquitous phenomenon in space and astrophysical plasmas, but the mechanisms driving its ons…
Collision of two radial rarefaction waves in unmagnetized ambient plasma: effects of the ambient plasma density
Margaux François, Mark E. Dieckmann, Lorenzo Romagnani +2
The expansion of two circular rarefaction waves in vacuum or in a thin ambient plasma is examined with particle-in-cell simulations that resolve two spatial dimensions. In the simu…
Characterization and performance of the Apollon main short-pulse laser beam following its commissioning at 2 PW level
Weipeng Yao, Ronan Lelièvre, Itamar Cohen +43
We present the results of the second commissioning phase of the short-focal-length area of the Apollon laser facility (located in Saclay, France), which was performed with the main…
A "lighthouse" laser-driven staged proton accelerator allowing for ultrafast angular and spectral control
Vojtěch Horný, Konstantin Burdonov, Alice Fazzini +12
Compact laser-plasma acceleration of fast ions has made great strides since its discovery over two decades ago, resulting in the current generation of high-energy ($\geq 100\,\rm M…
Expansion of a radially symmetric blast shell into a uniformly magnetized plasma
M E Dieckmann, Q Moreno, D Doria +7
The expansion of a thermal pressure-driven radial blast shell into a dilute ambient plasma is examined with two-dimensional PIC simulations. The purpose is to determine if laminar…
Leveraging extreme laser-driven magnetic fields for gamma-ray generation and pair production
Oliver Jansen, Tao Wang, David Stark +2
The ability of an intense laser pulse to propagate in a classically over-critical plasma through the phenomenon of relativistic transparency is shown to facilitate the generation o…
Emergence of MHD structures in a collisionless PIC simulation plasma
M E Dieckmann, D Folini, R Walder +5
The expansion of a dense plasma into a dilute plasma across an initially uniform perpendicular magnetic field is followed with a one-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation o…
Amplified short-wavelength light scattered by relativistic electrons in the laser-induced optical lattice
I. A. Andriyash, V. T. Tikhonchuk, V. Malka +2
The scheme of the XUV/X-ray free electron laser based on the optical undulator created by two overlapped transverse laser beams is analyzed. A kinetic theoretical description and a…
