First demonstration of multi-MeV proton acceleration from a cryogenic hydrogen ribbon target
Stephan D. Kraft, Lieselotte Obst, Josefine Metzkes-Ng +9
We show efficient laser driven proton acceleration up to 14MeV from a 50 m thick cryogenic hydrogen ribbon. Pulses of the short pulse laser ELFIE at LULI with a pulse length of…
Magnetic gravity compensation
Vadim Nikolayev, D. Chatain, D. Beysens +1
Magnetic gravity compensation in fluids is increasingly popular as a means to achieve low-gravity forphysical and life sciences studies. We explain the basics of the magnetic gravi…
Boiling crisis dynamics: low gravity experiments at high pressure
Vadim Nikolayev, Yves Garrabos, Carole Lecoutre +6
To understand the boiling crisis mechanism, one can take advantage of the slowing down of boiling at high pressures, in the close vicinity of the liquid-vapor critical point of the…
Bubble spreading during the boiling crisis: modelling and experimenting in microgravity
Vadim Nikolayev, D Beysens, Y Garrabos +2
Boiling is a very efficient way to transfer heat from a heater to the liquid carrier. We discuss the boiling crisis, a transition between two regimes of boiling: nucleate and film…
Experimental Evidence of the Vapor Recoil Mechanism in the Boiling Crisis
Vadim Nikolayev, D Chatain, Y Garrabos +1
Boiling crisis experiments are carried out in the vicinity of the liquid-gas critical point of H2. A magnetic gravity compensation setup is used to enable nucleate boiling at near…
Using magnetic levitation to produce cryogenic targets for inertial fusion energy: experiment and theory
D Chatain, Vadim Nikolayev
We present experimental and theoretical studies of magnetic levitation of hydrogen gas bubble surrounded by liquid hydrogen confined in a semi-transparent spherical shell of 3 mm i…
