Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence Mapping of a Carbon Laser Produced Plasma
R. S. Dorst, C. G. Constantin, D. B. Schaeffer +2
We present measurements of ion velocity distribution profiles obtained by laser induced fluorescence (LIF) on an explosive laser produced plasma (LPP). The spatio-temporal evolutio…
Laser-Driven, Ion-Scale Magnetospheres in Laboratory Plasmas. I. Experimental Platform and First Results
D. B. Schaeffer, F. D. Cruz, R. S. Dorst +7
Magnetospheres are a ubiquitous feature of magnetized bodies embedded in a plasma flow. While large planetary magnetospheres have been studied for decades by spacecraft, ion-scale…
High Repetition Rate Exploration of the Biermann Battery Effect in Laser Produced Plasmas Over Large Spatial Regions
J. J. Pilgram, M. B. P. Adams, C. G. Constantin +7
In this paper we present a high-repetition-rate experimental platform for examining the spatial structure and evolution of Biermann generated magnetic fields in laser-produced plas…
Raster Thomson scattering in large-scale laser plasmas produced at high repetition rate
M. Kaloyan, S. Ghazaryan, C. G. Constantin +5
We present optical Thomson scattering measurements of electron density and temperature in a large-scale (~2 cm) exploding laser plasma produced by irradiating a solid target with a…
Observations of a Field-Aligned Ion/Ion-Beam Instability in a Magnetized Laboratory Plasma
P. V. Heuer, M. S. Weidl, R. S. Dorst +8
Collisionless coupling between super Alfvénic ions and an ambient plasma parallel to a background magnetic field is mediated by a set of electromagnetic ion/ion-beam instabilities…
