The WARP Reactor Concept
Michael G. Anderson, James K. Walters, Enrique M. Anaya +3
The WARP Reactor Concept promises orders of magnitude increase of intense ion beam energies and respective radiation yields at a fraction of the size and cost over existing z-pinch…
Confinement of relativistic electrons in a magnetic mirror en route to a magnetized relativistic pair plasma
J. von der Linden, G. Fiksel, J. Peebles +5
Creating magnetized relativistic pair plasma in the laboratory would enable the exploration of unique plasma physics relevant to some of the most energetic events in the universe.…
Order of magnitude increase in laser-target coupling at near-relativistic intensities using compound parabolic concentrators
Gerald Jackson Williams, Anthony J. Link, Mark William Sherlock +20
Achieving a high conversion efficiency into relativistic electrons is central to short-pulse laser application and fundamentally relies on creating interaction regions with intensi…
Collisionless shock acceleration of narrow energy spread ion beams from mixed species plasmas using 1 m lasers
A. Pak, S. Kerr, N. Lemos +15
Collisionless shock acceleration of protons and C ions has been achieved by the interaction of a 10 W/cm, 1 m laser with a near-critical density plasma. Ablati…
Seeding the m = 0 instability in dense plasma focus Z-pinches with a hollow anode
J. X. Liu, J. Sears, M. McMahon +7
The dense plasma focus (DPF) is a classic Z-pinch plasma device that has been studied for decades as a radiation source. The formation of the m = 0 plasma instability during the co…
Scaling the Yield of Laser-Driven Electron-Positron Jets to Laboratory Astrophysical Applications
Hui Chen, F. Fiuza, A. Link +10
We report new experimental results obtained on three different laser facilities that show directed laser-driven relativistic electron-positron jets with up to 30 times larger yield…
