Kinetic Simulations of Laser-Driven Compression and Heating of Magnetised Cryogenic Hydrogen Targets using PIConGPU

Filip Optołowicz, Klaus Steiniger, David Blaschke +2

We present fully kinetic two-dimensional, three-velocity-component (2D3V) PIConGPU simulations of a three-beam direct-drive interaction with a 15 $\mu$m solid-density cryogenic hydro…
