Laser harmonic generation with tuneable orbital angular momentum using a structured plasma target
R. M. G. M. Trines, H. Schmitz, M. King +2
In previous studies of spin-to-orbital angular momentum (AM) conversion in laser high harmonic generation (HHG) using a plasma target, one unit of spin AM is always converted into…
A method to achieve rapid localised deep heating in a laser irradiated solid density target
Holger Schmitz, Alex P. L. Robinson
Rapid heating of small buried regions by laser generated fast electrons may be useful for applications such as XUV radiation sources or as drivers for shock experiments. In non-str…
Rapid Embedded Wire Heating via Resistive Guiding of Laser-Generated Fast Electrons as a Hydrodynamic Driver
A. P. L. Robinson, H. Schmitz, J. Pasley
Resistively guiding laser-generated fast electron beams in targets consisting of a resistive wire embedded in lower material should allow one to rapidly heat the wire to over 1…
Elliptical Magnetic Mirror generated via Resistivity Gradients for Fast Ignition ICF
A. P. L. Robinson, H. Schmitz
The elliptical magnetic mirror scheme for guiding fast electrons for Fast Ignition proposed by Schmitz (H.Schmitz et al., {\it Plasma Phys.Control.Fusion},{\bf 54} 085016 (2012)) i…
Vlasov simulations of collisionless magnetic reconnection without background density
H. Schmitz, R. Grauer
A standard starting point for the simulation of collisionless reconnection is the Harris equilibrium which is made up of a current sheet that separates two regions of opposing magn…
Kinetic Vlasov Simulations of collisionless magnetic Reconnection
H. Schmitz, R. Grauer
A fully kinetic Vlasov simulation of the Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) Magnetic Reconnection Challenge is presented. Good agreement is found with previous kinetic simulations…
