Suppression of Electromagnetic Pulses from Laser-Target Interactions by Strong Magnetic Fields
P. V. Heuer, J. L. Peebles, J. R. Davies +12
Laser-target interactions generate intense electromagnetic pulses (EMP) that can interfere with measurements and damage equipment. In this paper we show that applying a magnetic fi…
Enhanced Hot Electron Preheat Observed in Magnetized Laser Direct-Drive Implosions
M. Cufari, M. Gatu Johnson, C. K. Li +5
Hard x-ray emission, associated with hot electron preheat, in direct-drive implosions was observed to be enhanced by a factor of by application of a T magnetic fie…
Collisionless ion-electron energy exchange in magnetized shocks
Y. Zhang, P. V. Heuer, H. Wen +7
Energy partition between ions and electrons in collisionless shocks has long been an unsolved fundamental physical problem. We show that kinetic simulations of moderate Alfvénic Ma…
Distortions in Charged-Particle Images of Laser Direct-Drive Inertial Confinement Fusion Implosions
P. V. Heuer, J. L. Peebles, J. Kunimune +17
Energetic charged particles generated by inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions encode information about the spatial morphology of the hot-spot and dense fuel during the time…
