Excitation of the lower-hybrid drift instability in the outflow of electron-only magnetic reconnection
B. K. Russell, K. Sakai, Y. Zhang +17
We report experimental evidence for the lower-hybrid drift instability in the current sheet normal direction of electron-only magnetic reconnection. In our laser-driven capacitor-c…
Record Magnetic Field Generation by Short-Pulse Laser-Driven Capacitor-Coil Targets
Lan Gao, Yang Zhang, Hantao Ji +6
Magnetic fields generated by capacitor-coil targets driven by intense short-pulse lasers have been characterized using ultrafast proton radiography. A 1-kJ, 15-ps laser at a center…
Diagnosing electric and magnetic fields in laser-driven coil targets
Yang Zhang, Lan Gao, Hantao Ji +6
Laser-driven capacitor coils are widely used to generate intense magnetic fields for various applications in high-energy-density physics research. Accurate measurement of the magne…
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…
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…
