Laser-driven generation of collimated quasi-monoenergetic proton beam using double-layer target with modulated interface
M. Matys, K. Nishihara, M. Kecova +3
Usage of double-layer targets consisting of heavy and light material with modulated interface between them provides a way for laser-driven generation of collimated ion beams. With…
Critical Magnetic Field Strength for Suppression of the Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability in Plasmas
Takayoshi Sano, Tsuyoshi Inoue, Katsunobu Nishihara
The critical strength of a magnetic field required for the suppression of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI) is investigated numerically by using a two-dimensional single-mode…
Prepulse and amplified spontaneous emission effects on the interaction of a petawatt class laser with thin solid targets
Timur Zh. Esirkepov, James K. Koga, Atsushi Sunahara +17
When a finite contrast petawatt laser pulse irradiates a micron-thick foil, a prepulse (including amplified spontaneous emission) creates a preplasma, where an ultrashort relativis…
Magnetic Field Amplification Associated with the Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability
Takayoshi Sano, Katsunobu Nishihara, Chihiro Matsuoka +1
The amplification of a magnetic field due to the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI) is investigated by two-dimensional MHD simulations. Single-mode analysis is adopted to reveal d…
Molecular Dynamics Simulation on Stability of Converging Shocks
V. Zhakhovskii, K. Nishihara, M. Abe
Molecular Dynamic (MD) approach is applied to study the converging cylindrical shock waves in a dense Lennard-Jones (LJ) fluid. MD method is based on tracking of the atom motions a…
A New Dynamical Domain Decomposition Method for Parallel Molecular Dynamics Simulation on Grid
Vasilii Zhakhovskii, Katsunobu Nishihara, Yuko Fukuda +1
We develop a new Lagrangian material particle -- dynamical domain decomposition method (MPD^3) for large scale parallel molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of nonstationary heteroge…
