Formation and Study of a Spherical Plasma Liner for Plasma-Jet-Driven Magneto-Inertial Fusion
A. L. LaJoie, F. Chu, A. Brown +9
Plasma-jet-driven magneto-inertial fusion (PJMIF) is an alternative approach to controlled nuclear fusion which aims to utilize a line-replaceable dense plasma liner as a repetitiv…
Experimental characterization of a section of a spherically imploding plasma liner formed by merging hypersonic plasma jets
Kevin Yates, Samuel Langendorf, Scott Hsu +9
We report experimental results on merging of hypersonic plasma jets, which is the fundamental building block for forming spherically imploding plasma liners as a potential standoff…
Experiment to Form and Characterize a Section of a Spherically Imploding Plasma Liner
S. C. Hsu, S. J. Langendorf, K. C. Yates +13
We describe an experiment to form and characterize a section of a spherically imploding plasma liner by merging six supersonic plasma jets that are launched by newly designed conto…
Laboratory plasma physics experiments using merging supersonic plasma jets
S. C. Hsu, A. L. Moser, E. C. Merritt +8
We describe a laboratory plasma physics experiment at Los Alamos National Laboratory that uses two merging supersonic plasma jets formed and launched by pulsed-power-driven rail gu…
Experimental evidence for collisional shock formation via two obliquely merging supersonic plasma jets
Elizabeth C. Merritt, Auna L. Moser, Scott C. Hsu +4
We report spatially resolved measurements of the oblique merging of two supersonic laboratory plasma jets. The jets are formed and launched by pulsed-power-driven railguns using in…
Experimental characterization of railgun-driven supersonic plasma jets motivated by high energy density physics applications
S. C. Hsu, E. C. Merritt, A. L. Moser +11
We report experimental results on the parameters, structure, and evolution of high-Mach-number (M) argon plasma jets formed and launched by a pulsed-power-driven railgun. The nomin…
