Laser-driven strong magnetostatic fields with applications to charged beam transport and magnetized high energy-density physics

J. J. Santos, M. Bailly-Grandvaux, M. Ehret +28

Powerful laser-plasma processes are explored to generate discharge currents of a few $100$kA in coil targets, yielding magnetostatic fields (B-fields) in excess of $0.5$kT. The…
