Plasma flows during the ablation stage of an over-massed pulsed-power-driven exploding planar wire array
R. Datta, J. Angel, J. B. Greenly +10
We characterize the plasma flows generated during the ablation stage of an over-massed exploding planar wire array, fielded on the COBRA pulsed-power facility (1 MA peak current, 2…
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…
A portable X-pinch design for x-ray diagnostics of warm dense matter
J. Strucka, J. W. D. Halliday, T. Gheorghiu +13
We describe the design and x-ray emission properties (temporal, spatial, and spectral) of Dry Pinch I, a portable X-pinch driver developed at Imperial College London. Dry Pinch I i…
A Time-Resolved Imaging System for the Diagnosis of X-ray Self-Emission in High Energy Density Physics Experiments
Jack W. D. Halliday, Simon N. Bland, Jack D. Hare +4
A diagnostic capable of recording spatially and temporally resolved X-ray self emission data was developed to characterise experiments on the MAGPIE pulsed-power generator. The dia…
Two-Colour Interferometry and Thomson Scattering Measurements of a Plasma Gun
J. D. Hare, J. MacDonald, S. N. Bland +6
We present experimental measurements of a pulsed plasma gun, using two-colour imaging laser interferometry and spatially resolved Thomson scattering. Interferometry measurements gi…
Bow shock fragmentation driven by a thermal instability in laboratory-astrophysics experiments
F. Suzuki-Vidal, S. V. Lebedev, A. Ciardi +16
The role of radiative cooling during the evolution of a bow shock was studied in laboratory-astrophysics experiments that are scalable to bow shocks present in jets from young stel…
