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…
Excitation of the lower-hybrid drift instability in the outflow of electron-only magnetic reconnection
B. K. Russell, K. Sakai, Y. Zhang +17
We report experimental evidence for the lower-hybrid drift instability in the current sheet normal direction of electron-only magnetic reconnection. In our laser-driven capacitor-c…
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…
Pair-loaded electron-only magnetic reconnection using laser-driven capacitor coils
Brandon K. Russell, Qian Qian, Rebecca Fitzgarrald +12
We propose and simulate a laboratory platform to study the effects of positrons in magnetic reconnection using laser-driven capacitor coils. Using particle-in-cell simulations, we…
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…
