Exploring the Physics of the Plasma Liner Experiment: A Multi-dimensional Study with FLASH, OSIRIS, and HELIOS
E. C. Hansen, P. Farmakis, D. Michta +5
The Plasma Liner Experiment (PLX) at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is a platform that seeks to achieve fusion via the Plasma-Jet-Driven Magneto-Inertial Fusion (PJMIF) conc…
Testing strong-field QED with the avalanche precursor
A. A. Mironov, S. S. Bulanov, A. Di Piazza +8
A two-beam high-power laser facility is essential for the study of one of the most captivating phenomena predicted by strong-field quantum electrodynamics (QED) and yet unobserved…
Particle-in-cell simulations of expanding high energy density plasmas with laser ray tracing
K. V. Lezhnin, S. R. Totorica, A. S. Hyder +5
The design and analysis of high energy density (HED) laser experiments typically rely on radiation hydrodynamics simulations. However, some laser-plasma interaction regimes are not…
Opportunities in Pulsed Magnetic Fusion Energy
C. Leland Ellison, Vincent Garcia, Matthew Gomez +13
Fusion is a potentially transformational energy technology, which promises limitless clean energy. Yet, it requires continued scientific and technological development to realize it…
Shock Wave Formation in Radiative Plasmas
F. Garcia-Rubio, V. Tranchant, E. C. Hansen +6
The temporal evolution of weak shocks in radiative media is theoretically investigated in this work. The structure of radiative shocks has traditionally been studied in a stationar…
Impact of Electron Transport Models on Capillary Discharge Plasmas
A. Diaw, S. J. Coleman, N. M. Cook +3
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) can be used to model capillary discharge waveguides in laser-wakefield accelerators. However, the predictive capability of MHD can suffer due to poor mic…
Experimental observations of detached bow shock formation in the interaction of a laser-produced plasma with a magnetized obstacle
Joseph M. Levesque, Andy S. Liao, Patrick Hartigan +14
The magnetic field produced by planets with active dynamos, like the Earth, can exert sufficient pressure to oppose supersonic stellar wind plasmas, leading to the formation of a s…
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…
Strong suppression of heat conduction in a laboratory replica of galaxy-cluster turbulent plasmas
J. Meinecke, P. Tzeferacos, J. S. Ross +32
Galaxy clusters are filled with hot, diffuse X-ray emitting plasma, with a stochastically tangled magnetic field whose energy is close to equipartition with the energy of the turbu…
