Control of Magnetic Reconnection in High Energy Density Plasmas
J. L. Latham, B. K. Russell, C. Dong +6
Magnetic reconnection governs the explosive release of magnetic energy in systems from the solar corona to fusion plasmas, yet controlling it in the laboratory has remained out of…
Precision mapping of laser-driven magnetic fields and their evolution in high-energy-density plasmas
Lan Gao, PM Nilson, IV Igumenshchev +4
Magnetic fields generated by the Rayleigh-Taylor instability were measured in laser-accelerated planar foils using ultrafast proton radiography. Thin plastic foils were irradiated…
Observation of Self-Similarity in the Magnetic Fields Generated by the Ablative Nonlinear Rayleigh-Taylor Instability
L. Gao, P. M. Nilson, I. V. Igumenschev +10
Magnetic fields generated by the nonlinear Rayleigh-Taylor growth of laser-seeded three-dimensional broadband perturbations were measured in laser-accelerated planar targets using…
Direct measurement of non-thermal electron acceleration from magnetically driven reconnection in a laboratory plasma
Abraham Chien, Lan Gao, Shu Zhang +24
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous astrophysical process that rapidly converts magnetic energy into some combination of plasma flow energy, thermal energy, and non-thermal energ…
Measuring magnetic flux suppression in high-power laser-plasma interactions
P. T. Campbell, C. A. Walsh, B. K. Russell +9
Biermann battery magnetic field generation driven by high power laser-solid interactions is explored in experiments performed with the OMEGA EP laser system. Proton deflectometry c…
Towards the Optimisation of Direct Laser Acceleration
A. E. Hussein, A. V. Arefiev, T. Batson +13
Experimental measurements using the OMEGA EP laser facility demonstrated direct laser acceleration (DLA) of electron beams to (505 75) MeV with (140 30)~nC of charge fr…
