Characterizing the temporal evolution of Biermann-battery-driven magnetic reconnection in laser-ablated plasmas
T. Morita, Y. Muramoto, S. Isayama +30
This paper presents an experimental investigation of magnetic reconnection between two laser-produced expanding plasmas, focusing on the quantitative evaluation of the reconnection…
Pulse magnet of 10 T for power laser experiments with x-ray free-electron laser diagnostics
Akihiko Ikeda, Kosuke Noda, Yutaro Yamanaka +22
The importance of investigating magnetized plasmas/solids in extreme conditions has grown over the last decades, particularly in the field of high energy density physics (HEDP), su…
Relativistic two-wave resonant acceleration of electrons at large-amplitude standing whistler waves during laser-plasma interaction
Takayoshi Sano, Shogo Isayama, Kenta Takahashi +1
The interaction between a thin foil target and a circularly polarized laser light injected along an external magnetic field is investigated numerically by particle-in-cell simulati…
Mechanism of generating collisionless shock in magnetized gas plasma driven by laser-ablated target plasma
S. Matsukiyo, K. Oshida, S. Isayama +7
Mechanism of generating collisionless shock in magnetized gas plasma driven by laser-ablated target plasma is investigated by using one-dimensional full particle-in-cell simulation…
Laser-Driven Proton-Only Acceleration in a Multicomponent Near-Critical-Density Plasma
Y. Sakawa, H. Ishihara, S. N. Ryazantsev +26
An experimental investigation of collisionless shock ion acceleration is presented using a multicomponent plasma and a high-intensity picosecond duration laser pulse. Protons are t…
Competition of magnetic reconnections in self-generated and external magnetic fields
K. Sakai, T. Y. Huang, N. Khasanah +13
We investigate the competition of magnetic reconnections in self-generated and external magnetic fields in laser-produced plasmas. The temporal evolution of plasma structures measu…
