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…
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 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…
Tendency of spherically imploding plasma liners formed by merging plasma jets to evolve toward spherical symmetry
J. T. Cassibry, M. Stanic, S. C. Hsu +2
Three dimensional hydrodynamic simulations have been performed using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) in order to study the effects of discrete jets on the processes of plasma…
