Conditions of structural transition for collisionless electrostatic shock
Minh Nhat Ly, Takayoshi Sano, Youichi Sakawa +1
Collisionless shock acceleration, which transfers localized particle energies to non-thermal energetic particles via electromagnetic potential, is ubiquitous in space plasma. We in…
Collective Thomson scattering in non-equilibrium laser produced two-stream plasmas
K. Sakai, S. Isayama, N. Bolouki +12
We investigate collective Thomson scattering (CTS) in two-stream non-equilibrium plasmas analytically, numerically and experimentally. In laboratory astrophysics, CTS is a unique t…
Identification of electrostatic two-stream instabilities associated with a laser-driven collisionless shock in a multicomponent plasma
Youichi Sakawa, Yutaka Ohira, Rajesh Kumar +3
Electrostatic two-stream instabilities play essential roles in an electrostatic collisionless shock formation. They are a key dissipation mechanism and result in ion heating and ac…
Laser astrophysics experiment on the amplification of magnetic fields by shock-induced interfacial instabilities
Takayoshi Sano, Shohei Tamatani, Kazuki Matsuo +19
Laser experiments are becoming established as a new tool for astronomical research that complements observations and theoretical modeling. Localized strong magnetic fields have bee…
Ion acceleration at two collisionless shocks in a multicomponent plasma
Rajesh Kumar, Youichi Sakawa, Takayoshi Sano +3
Intense laser-plasma interactions are an essential tool for the laboratory study of ion acceleration at a collisionless shock. With two-dimensional particle-in-cell calculations of…
Probing ultrafast laser plasma processes inside solids with resonant small-angle X-ray scattering
Lennart Gaus, Lothar Bischoff, Michael Bussmann +33
Extreme states of matter exist throughout the universe e.g. inside planetary cores, stars or astrophysical jets. Such conditions are generated in the laboratory in the interaction…
Anomalous plasma acceleration in colliding high-power laser-produced plasmas
T. Morita, K. Nagashima, M. Edamoto +20
We developed an experimental platform for studying magnetic reconnection in an external magnetic field with simultaneous measurements of plasma imaging, flow velocity, and magnetic…
Full particle-in-cell simulation of the interaction between two plasmas for laboratory experiments on the generation of magnetized collisionless shocks with high-power lasers
T. Umeda, R. Yamazaki, Y. Ohira +12
A preliminary numerical experiment is conducted for laboratory experiments on the generation of magnetized collisionless shocks with high-power lasers by using one-dimensional part…
Experiments to investigate the effects of radiative cooling on plasma jet collimation
C. D. Gregory, A. Diziere, H. Aoki +15
Preliminary experiments have been performed to investigate the effects of radiative cooling on plasma jets. Thin (3 um - 5 um) conical shells were irradiated with an intense laser,…
