Laser ion acceleration from tailored solid targets with micron-scale channels
K. V. Lezhnin, S. V. Bulanov
Laser ion acceleration is a promising concept for generation of fast ions using a compact laser-solid interaction setup. In this study, we theoretically investigate the feasibility…
Fast magnetic reconnection in highly-extended current sheets at the National Ignition Facility
W. Fox, D. B. Schaeffer, M. J. Rosenberg +12
Fast magnetic reconnection was observed between magnetized laser-produced plasmas at the National Ignition Facility. Two highly-elongated plasma plumes were produced by tiling two…
Kinetic simulations of electron pre-energization by magnetized collisionless shocks in expanding laboratory plasmas
K. V. Lezhnin, W. Fox, D. B. Schaeffer +4
Collisionless shocks are common features in space and astrophysical systems where supersonic plasma flows interact, such as in the solar wind, the heliopause, and supernova remnant…
Evolution of supermassive black hole binaries and tidal disruption rates in nonspherical galactic nuclei
Kirill Lezhnin, Eugene Vasiliev
Binary supermassive black holes (SMBH) are expected to form naturally during galaxy mergers. After the dynamical friction phase, when the two SMBHs become gravitationally bound to…
Regimes of magnetic reconnection in colliding laser-produced magnetized plasma bubbles
K. V. Lezhnin, W. Fox, J. Matteucci +4
We conduct a multiparametric study of driven magnetic reconnection relevant to recent experiments on colliding magnetized laser produced plasmas using particle-in-cell simulations.…
Laser Ion Acceleration from Mass-Limited Targets with Preplasma
K. V. Lezhnin, F. F. Kamenets, T. Zh. Esirkepov +4
The interaction of high intensity laser radiation with mass-limited target exhibits significant enhancement of the ion acceleration when the target is surrounded by an underdense p…
