Laser-intensity-spike-dominated hot electron generation from two-plasmon decay instability driven by moderate-bandwidth pulses
C. Yao, Z. H. Cai, X. Wang +34
Our direct-drive-relevant experiments on the low-coherence Kunwu laser facility identify two-plasmon decay (TPD) as the primary source of hot electrons, and demonstrate for the fir…

Resonance density range governs two-plasmon decay saturation and enables hot-electron prediction in inertial confinement fusion
C. Yao, J. Li, L. Hao +6
The saturation level of parametric instabilities critically determines their impact on fusion plasmas. We identify the resonance density range of two-plasmon decay as the critical…

Two-Plasmon-Decay Instability Stimulated by a Normal- and Large-Angle-Incidence Laser Pair
C. -W. Lian, Y. Ji, R. Yan +6
The two-plasmon-decay instability (TPD) is a critical target preheating risk in direct-drive inertial confinement fusion. In this paper, TPD collectively driven by a normal-inciden…
