Laser-Driven, Ion-Scale Magnetospheres in Laboratory Plasmas. I. Experimental Platform and First Results
D. B. Schaeffer, F. D. Cruz, R. S. Dorst +7
Magnetospheres are a ubiquitous feature of magnetized bodies embedded in a plasma flow. While large planetary magnetospheres have been studied for decades by spacecraft, ion-scale…
Raster Thomson scattering in large-scale laser plasmas produced at high repetition rate
M. Kaloyan, S. Ghazaryan, C. G. Constantin +5
We present optical Thomson scattering measurements of electron density and temperature in a large-scale (~2 cm) exploding laser plasma produced by irradiating a solid target with a…
On the background-gyroresonant character of the Bell instability
Martin S. Weidl, Dan Winske, Christoph Niemann
We show that the Bell instability, which is widely considered potentially important for cosmic-ray acceleration, is the low-frequency limit of a gyroresonant interaction between th…
How it cramps the flow: three regimes for the saturation of parallel ion-beam instabilities
Martin S. Weidl, Dan Winske, Christoph Niemann
Motivated by recent advances in laboratory experiments on parallel ion-beam instabilities, we present a theoretical framework for and simulations of their evolution towards shock f…
Demonstration of an optical mixing technique to drive Kinetic Electrostatic Electron Nonlinear waves in laser produced plasmas
J. L. Kline, B. Afeyan, W. A. Bertsche +4
A nitrogen gas Raman cell system has been constructed to shift a 70 J 527 nm laser beam to 600 nm with 20 J of energy. The 600 nm probe and a 200J, 527 nm pump beam were optically…
