Ponderomotive electron physics captured in single-fluid extended MHD model
James R. Young, Pierre-Alexandre Gourdain
The well-known ponderomotive force, arising from the interaction of matter and light, has critical implications across a broad range of fields from laser fusion and astrophysics to…
Generation of Strong Fields with Subcritical Density Plasmas to Study the Phase Transitions of Magnetized Warm Dense Matter
Irem Nesli Erez, Jonathan R. Davies, Jonathan L. Peebles +2
Warm dense matter (WDM) is a regime where Fermi degenerate electrons play an important role in the macroscopic properties of a material. Recent experiments have brought us closer t…
Axial magnetic field injection into thick, imploding liners
P. -A. Gourdain, M. Adams, J. Davies +1
MagLIF is a fairly new fusion concept using a puled-power generator as the main driver. This concept uses a Z-pinch configuration where the implosion is driven by the Z-machine usi…
The impact of the Hall effect on high energy density plasma jets
P. -A. Gourdain, C. E. Seyler
Using a 1-MA, 100ns-rise-time pulsed power generator, radial foil configurations can produce strongly collimated plasma jets. The resulting jets have electron densities on the orde…
