Ultrafast proton radiography of the magnetic fields generated by a laser-driven coil current
Lan Gao, Hantao Ji, Gennady Fiksel +3
Magnetic fields generated by a current flowing through a U-shaped coil connecting two copper foils were measured using ultrafast proton radiography. Two 1.25 kJ, 1-ns laser p…
Laboratory Study of Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection
H. Ji, J. Yoo, W. Fox +13
A concise review is given on the past two decades' results from laboratory experiments on collisionless magnetic reconnection in direct relation with space measurements, especially…
Proton Imaging of High-Energy-Density Laboratory Plasmas
Derek B. Schaeffer, Archie F. A. Bott, Marco Borghesi +8
Proton imaging has become a key diagnostic for measuring electromagnetic fields in high-energy-density (HED) laboratory plasmas. Compared to other techniques for diagnosing fields,…
Two-dimensional plasma density evolution local to the inversion layer during sawtooth crash events using Beam Emission Spectroscopy
Sayak Bose, William Fox, Dingyun Liu +4
We present methods for analyzing Beam Emission Spectroscopy (BES) data to obtain the plasma density evolution associated with rapid sawtooth crash events at the DIII-D tokamak. BES…
A novel kinetic mechanism for the onset of fast magnetic reconnection and plasmoid instabilities in collisionless plasmas
W. Fox, G. Fiksel, D. B. Schaeffer +9
Magnetic reconnection can explosively release magnetic energy when opposing magnetic fields merge and annihilate through a current sheet, driving plasma jets and accelerating non-t…
Proton deflectometry with in situ x-ray reference for absolute measurement of electromagnetic fields in high-energy-density plasmas
C. L. Johnson, S. Malko, W. Fox +5
We report a technique of proton deflectometry which uses a grid and an in situ reference x-ray grid image for precise measurements of magnetic fields in high-energy density plasmas…
