Evolution of laser-driven magnetic fields from proton tomography
J. Griff-McMahon, V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, C. A. Walsh +9
Self-generated magnetic fields are commonly produced in high-power laser-plasma interactions. These fields can inhibit plasma heat-flow which makes them important in inertial fusio…
Structure of self-generated magnetic fields in laser-solid interaction from proton tomography
Jesse Griff-McMahon, Christopher A. Walsh, Vicente Valenzuela-Villaseca +9
Strong magnetic fields are naturally self-generated in high-power, laser-solid interactions through the Biermann-battery mechanism. This work experimentally characterizes the 3D lo…
Reconstruction of 2D line-integrated electron density using angular filter refractometry and a fast marching Eikonal solver
Brendan McCluskey, Jesse Griff-McMahon, Daniel Haberberger +3
Refraction of an optical probe beam by a plasma can be measured with angular filter refractometry (AFR), which produces an image containing intensity contours that correspond to cu…
