Measurements of Laser-Driven Plasma Expansion into Hohlraum-Relevant Background Gas
S. Hilsabeck, S. Dannhoff, C. A. Walsh +3
Experiments at the OMEGA EP laser facility were designed and executed to study plasma expansion into hohlraum-relevant gas fills (0.3-0.6 mg/cc of helium), providing a surrogate pl…

The linear Rayleigh-Taylor instability with foams
Antoine Bret, Audrey DeVault, Skylar Dannhoff +3
We analyse the behaviour of the linear phase of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) in the presence of a foam. Such a problem may be relevant, for example, to some inertial confi…

Biermann-battery driven magnetized collisionless shock precursors in laser produced plasmas
Timothy Johnson, Graeme Sutcliffe, Jacob Pearcy +14
This letter reports the first complete observation of magnetized collisionless shock precursors formed through the compression of Biermann-battery magnetic fields in laser produced…
