Direct measurement of non-thermal electron acceleration from magnetically driven reconnection in a laboratory plasma
Abraham Chien, Lan Gao, Shu Zhang +24
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous astrophysical process that rapidly converts magnetic energy into some combination of plasma flow energy, thermal energy, and non-thermal energ…
Experimental observations of detached bow shock formation in the interaction of a laser-produced plasma with a magnetized obstacle
Joseph M. Levesque, Andy S. Liao, Patrick Hartigan +14
The magnetic field produced by planets with active dynamos, like the Earth, can exert sufficient pressure to oppose supersonic stellar wind plasmas, leading to the formation of a s…
First radiative shock experiments on the SG-II laser
Francisco Suzuki-Vidal, Thomas Clayson, Chantal Stehlé +17
We report on the design and first results from experiments looking at the formation of radiative shocks on the Shenguang-II (SG-II) laser at the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fi…
A Community Plan for Fusion Energy and Discovery Plasma Sciences
Scott Baalrud, Nathaniel Ferraro, Lauren Garrison +4
This document is the final report of the Community Planning Process (CPP) that describes a comprehensive plan to deliver fusion energy and to advance plasma science. The CPP was in…
Characterizing filamentary magnetic structures in counter-streaming plasmas by Fourier analysis of proton images
Joseph Levesque, Carolyn Kuranz, Timothy Handy +2
Proton imaging is a powerful tool for probing electromagnetic fields in a plasma, providing a path-integrated map of the field topology. However, in cases where the field structure…
Atomic Modeling of Photoionization Fronts in Nitrogen Gas
William J. Gray, P. A. Keiter, H. Lefevre +5
Photoionization fronts play a dominant role in many astrophysical environments, but remain difficult to achieve in a laboratory experiment. Recent papers have suggested that experi…
