Sustained interpenetrating plasma flows for the investigation of late time kinetic instability evolution
G. D. Sutcliffe, N. Vanderloo, C. Bruulsema +7
Sustained collisionless interpenetrating plasma flows have been generated on the OMEGA laser facility to enable direct investigation of nonlinear evolution of fields generated by e…
Laboratory measurements of energy partitioning and anomalous electron heating in magnetized, perpendicular collisionless shocks
V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, S. Totorica, J. Griff-McMahon +6
We present laboratory results on energy partitioning from supercritical, magnetized collisionless shock experiments (, ). We report the first ob…
Criteria for ion acceleration in laboratory magnetized quasi-perpendicular collisionless shocks: when are 2D simulations enough?
Luca Orusa, Vicente Valenzuela-Villaseca
The study of collisionless shocks and their role in cosmic ray acceleration has gained importance through observations and simulations, driving interest in reproducing these condit…
Proton Radiography Inversions with Source Extraction and Comparison to Mesh Methods
J. Griff-McMahon, V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, S. Malko +4
Proton radiography is a central diagnostic technique for measuring electromagnetic (EM) fields in high-energy-density, laser-produced plasmas. In this technique, protons traverse t…
X-ray imaging and electron temperature evolution in laser-driven magnetic reconnection experiments at the National Ignition Facility
V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, J. M. Molina, D. B. Schaeffer +13
We present results from X-ray imaging of high-aspect-ratio magnetic reconnection experiments driven at the National Ignition Facility. Two parallel, self-magnetized, elongated lase…
Structure and Dynamics of Magneto-Inertial, Differentially Rotating Laboratory Plasmas
V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, L. G. Suttle, F. Suzuki-Vidal +9
We present a detailed characterization of the structure and evolution of differentially rotating plasmas driven on the MAGPIE pulsed-power generator (1.4 MA peak current, 240 ns ri…
On The Structure of Plasma Jets in the Rotating Plasma Experiment
V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, L. G. Suttle, F. Suzuki-Vidal +9
Recent pulsed-power experiments have demonstrated the formation of astrophysically-relevant, differentially rotating plasmas [1]. Key features of the plasma flows are the discovery…
Measurements of Extended Magnetic Fields in Laser-Solid Interaction
J. Griff-McMahon, S. Malko, V. Valenzuela-Villaseca +5
Magnetic fields generated from a laser-foil interaction are measured with high fidelity using a proton radiography scheme with in situ x-ray fiducials. In contrast to prior finding…
Radiative cooling effects on reverse shocks formed by magnetised supersonic plasma flows
S. Merlini, J. D. Hare, G. C. Burdiak +15
We study the structure of reverse shocks formed by the collision of supersonic, magnetised plasma flows driven by an inverse (or exploding) wire array with a planar conducting obst…
Investigating radiatively driven, magnetised plasmas with a university scale pulsed-power generator
Jack W. D. Halliday, Aidan Crilly, Jeremy Chittenden +8
We present first results from a novel experimental platform which is able to access physics relevant to topics including indirect-drive magnetised ICF; laser energy deposition; var…
Characterization of Quasi-Keplerian, Differentially Rotating, Free-Boundary Laboratory Plasmas
V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, L. G. Suttle, F. Suzuki-Vidal +9
We present results from pulsed-power driven differentially rotating plasma experiments designed to simulate physics relevant to astrophysical disks and jets. In these experiments,…
Perpendicular subcritical shock structure in a collisional plasma experiment
D. R. Russell, G. C. Burdiak, J. J. Carroll-Nellenback +13
We present a study of perpendicular subcritical shocks in a collisional laboratory plasma. Shocks are produced by placing obstacles into the super-magnetosonic outflow from an inve…
