Proton Radiography Inversions with Source Extraction and Comparison to Mesh Methods

J. Griff-McMahon, V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, S. Malko +4

Proton radiography is a central diagnostic technique for measuring electromagnetic (EM) fields in high-energy-density, laser-produced plasmas. In this technique, protons traverse t…

Radiatively Cooled Magnetic Reconnection Experiments Driven by Pulsed Power

R Datta, K Chandler, C E Myers +20

We present evidence for strong radiative cooling in a pulsed-power-driven magnetic reconnection experiment. Two aluminum exploding wire arrays, driven by a 20 MA peak current, 300…

Plasmoid formation and strong radiative cooling in a driven magnetic reconnection experiment

R. Datta, K. Chandler, C. E. Myers +20

We present results from the first experimental study of strongly radiatively-cooled magnetic reconnection. Two exploding aluminum wire arrays, driven simultaneously by the Z machin…

Simulations of Radiatively Cooled Magnetic Reconnection Driven by Pulsed Power

Rishabh Datta, Aidan J. Crilly, Jeremy P. Chittenden +12

Magnetic reconnection is an important process in astrophysical environments, as it re-configures magnetic field topology and converts magnetic energy into thermal and kinetic energ…

Measurements of Extended Magnetic Fields in Laser-Solid Interaction

J. Griff-McMahon, S. Malko, V. Valenzuela-Villaseca +5

Magnetic fields generated from a laser-foil interaction are measured with high fidelity using a proton radiography scheme with in situ x-ray fiducials. In contrast to prior finding…
