Crystal nucleation rates in one-component Yukawa systems
B. Arnold, J. Daligault, D. Saumon +2
Nucleation in the supercooled Yukawa system is relevant for addressing current challenges in understanding a range of crystallizing systems including white dwarf (WD) stars. We use…
X-ray imaging and electron temperature evolution in laser-driven magnetic reconnection experiments at the National Ignition Facility
V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, J. M. Molina, D. B. Schaeffer +13
We present results from X-ray imaging of high-aspect-ratio magnetic reconnection experiments driven at the National Ignition Facility. Two parallel, self-magnetized, elongated lase…
A novel kinetic mechanism for the onset of fast magnetic reconnection and plasmoid instabilities in collisionless plasmas
W. Fox, G. Fiksel, D. B. Schaeffer +9
Magnetic reconnection can explosively release magnetic energy when opposing magnetic fields merge and annihilate through a current sheet, driving plasma jets and accelerating non-t…
A feasibility study of using X-ray Thomson Scattering to diagnose the in-flight plasma conditions of DT cryogenic implosions
H. Poole, D. Cao, R. Epstein +9
The design of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) ignition targets requires radiation-hydrodynamics simulations with accurate models of the fundamental material properties (i.e., equ…
Kinetic simulation of magnetic field generation and collisionless shock formation in expanding laboratory plasmas
W. Fox, J. Matteucci, C. Moissard +4
Recent laboratory experiments with laser-produced plasmas have observed and studied a number of fundamental physical processes relevant to magnetized astrophysical plasmas, includi…
