Thermomagnetic instability of plasma composition gradients
James D. Sadler, Hui Li
We show that, under Braginskii magneto-hydrodynamics, anti-parallel gradients in average ion charge state and electron temperature can be unstable to the growth of self-generated m…
Symmetric set of transport coefficients for collisional magnetized plasma
James D. Sadler, Christopher A. Walsh, Hui Li
In Braginskii extended magneto-hydrodynamics (ExMHD), applicable to collisional astrophysical and high energy density plasmas, the electric field and heat flow are described by the…
Magnetization around mix jets entering inertial confinement fusion fuel
James D. Sadler, Hui Li, Brian M. Haines
Engineering features are known to cause jets of ablator material to enter the fuel hot-spot in inertial confinement fusion implosions. The Biermann battery mechanism wraps them in…
Studying particle acceleration from driven magnetic reconnection at the termination shock of a relativistic striped wind using particle-in-cell simulations
Yingchao Lu, Fan Guo, Patrick Kilian +3
A rotating pulsar creates a surrounding pulsar wind nebula (PWN) by steadily releasing an energetic wind into the interior of the expanding shockwave of supernova remnant or inters…
Magnetic field generation from composition gradients in inertial confinement fusion fuel
James D. Sadler, Hui Li, Kirk A. Flippo
Experimental asymmetries in fusion implosions can lead to magnetic field generation in the hot plasma core. For typical parameters, previous studies found that the magnetisation Ha…
