Optimization of laser illumination configuration for directly driven inertial confinement fusion
Masakatsu Murakami, Daiki Nishi
Optimum laser configurations are presented to achieve high illumination uniformity with directly driven inertial confinement fusion targets. Assuming axisymmetric absorption patter…
Generation of ultrahigh field by micro-bubble implosion
M. Murakami, A. Arefiev, M. A. Zosa
Breaking the 100-MeV barrier for proton acceleration will help elucidate fundamental physics and advance practical applications from inertial confinement fusion to tumour therapy.…
Magnetic field amplification driven by the gyro motion of charged particles
Y-J. Gu, M. Murakami
Spontaneous magnetic field generation plays important role in laser-plasma interactions. Strong quasi-static magnetic fields affect the thermal conductivity and the plasma dynamics…
Laser astrophysics experiment on the amplification of magnetic fields by shock-induced interfacial instabilities
Takayoshi Sano, Shohei Tamatani, Kazuki Matsuo +19
Laser experiments are becoming established as a new tool for astronomical research that complements observations and theoretical modeling. Localized strong magnetic fields have bee…
Sign reversal in magnetic field amplification by relativistic laser-driven microtube implosions
K. Weichman, M. Murakami, A. P. L. Robinson +1
We demonstrate and explain the surprising phenomenon of sign reversal in magnetic field amplification by the laser-driven implosion of a structured target. Relativistically intense…
Strong surface magnetic field generation in relativistic short pulse laser-plasma interaction with an applied seed magnetic field
Kathleen Weichman, Alexander P. L. Robinson, Masakatsu Murakami +1
While plasma often behaves diamagnetically, we demonstrate that the laser irradiation of a thin opaque target with an embedded target-transverse seed magnetic field $B_\mathrm{seed…
