Mega-Gauss Plasma Jet Creation Using a Ring of Laser Beams

L. Gao, E. Liang, Y. Lu +11

Using 20 OMEGA laser beams at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, University of Rochester, to irradiate a flat plastic target in a hollow ring configuration, we created supersonic…

Ion and Electron Acoustic Bursts during Anti-Parallel Magnetic Reconnection Driven by Lasers

Shu Zhang, Abraham Chien, Lan Gao +10

Magnetic reconnection converts magnetic energy into thermal and kinetic energy in plasma. Among numerous candidate mechanisms, ion acoustic instabilities driven by the relative dri…

Strong suppression of heat conduction in a laboratory replica of galaxy-cluster turbulent plasmas

J. Meinecke, P. Tzeferacos, J. S. Ross +32

Galaxy clusters are filled with hot, diffuse X-ray emitting plasma, with a stochastically tangled magnetic field whose energy is close to equipartition with the energy of the turbu…

Time-resolved fast turbulent dynamo in a laser plasma

A. F. A. Bott, P. Tzeferacos, L. Chen +25

Understanding magnetic-field generation and amplification in turbulent plasma is essential to account for observations of magnetic fields in the universe. A theoretical framework a…

Inference of the electron temperature in ICF implosions from the hard X-ray spectral continuum

Grigory Kagan, O. L. Landen, D. Svyatskiy +15

Using the free-free continuum self-emission spectrum at photon energies above 15 keV is one of the most promising concepts for assessing the electron temperature in ICF experiments…

Observation of magnetic field generation via the Weibel instability in interpenetrating plasma flows

C. M. Huntington, F. Fiuza, J. S. Ross +18

Collisionless shocks can be produced as a result of strong magnetic fields in a plasma flow, and therefore are common in many astrophysical systems. The Weibel instability is one c…
