Time-Resolved Interferometric Measurements of Plasma Density Evolution in Laser-Driven Capacitor-Coil Targets
Yang Zhang, Ryo Omura, Rinya Akematsu +17
Laser-driven capacitor-coil targets provide a compact platform for generating strong magnetic fields and are widely used in magnetized high-energy-density plasma experiments. In ad…
Enhanced plasma heating via interaction with high-contrast laser and cone-shaped target
Yuga Karaki, Yoshitaka Mori, Eigo Ebisawa +25
We investigated plasma heating enhancement using a high-intensity, high-contrast laser and a cone-attached target. Fast electron spectra and X-ray emission were measured with an el…
Optical generation of quasi-stationary plasma electromagnetic structures for particle collimation with PetaWatt picosecond laser
Ph. Korneev, N. D. Bukharskii, I. V. Kochetkov +7
Optical generation of energetic particle bunches requires high-power laser facilities operating in picosecond or femtosecond temporal domain. It is therefore preferable to use shor…
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…
Enhancement of ablative Rayleigh-Taylor instability growth by thermal conduction suppression in a magnetic field
Kazuki Matsuo, Takayoshi Sano, Hideo Nagatomo +5
Ablative Rayleigh-Taylor instability growth was investigated to elucidate the fundamental physics of thermal conduction suppression in a magnetic field. Experiments found that unst…
Kilotesla plasmoid formation by a trapped relativistic laser beam
M. Ehret, Yu. Kochetkov, Y. Abe +11
A strong quasi-stationary magnetic field is generated in hollow targets with curved internal surface under the action of a relativistically intense picosecond laser pulse. Experime…
Peta-Pascal Pressure Driven by Fast Isochoric Heating with Multi-Picosecond Intense Laser Pulse
Kazuki Matsuo, Naoki Higashi, Natsumi Iwata +31
Fast isochoric laser heating is a scheme to heat a matter with relativistic-intensity ( 10 W/cm) laser pulse or X-ray free electron laser pulse. The fast isochoric la…
Hard particle spectra of galactic X-ray sources by relativistic magnetic reconnection in laser lab
K. F. F. Law, Y. Abe, A. Morace +18
Magnetic reconnection is a process whereby magnetic field lines in different directions "reconnect" with each other, resulting in the rearrangement of magnetic field topology toget…
Super-ponderomotive electron acceleration in blowout plasma heated by multi-picosecond relativistic intensity laser pulse
Sadaoki Kojima, Masayasu Hata, Natsumi Iwata +25
The dependence of the mean kinetic energy of laser-accelerated electrons on the laser intensity, so-called ponderomotive scaling, was derived theoretically with consideration of th…
Whispering gallery effect in relativistic optics
Y. Abe, K. -F. -F. Law, Ph. Korneev +17
A relativistic laser pulse, confined in a cylindrical target, performs multiple scattering along the target surface. The confinement property of the target results in a very effcie…
Laser-driven strong magnetostatic fields with applications to charged beam transport and magnetized high energy-density physics
J. J. Santos, M. Bailly-Grandvaux, M. Ehret +28
Powerful laser-plasma processes are explored to generate discharge currents of a few kA in coil targets, yielding magnetostatic fields (B-fields) in excess of kT. The…
Magnetized Fast Isochoric Laser Heating for Efficient Creation of Ultra-High-Energy-Density States
Shohei Sakata, Seungho Lee, Tomoyuki Johzaki +36
The quest for the inertial confinement fusion (ICF) ignition is a grand challenge, as exemplified by extraordinary large laser facilities. Fast isochoric heating of a pre-compresse…
Laser electron acceleration on curved surfaces
Ph. Korneev, Y. Abe, K. -F. -F. Law +19
Electron acceleration by relativistically intense laser beam propagating along a curved surface allows to split softly the accelerated electron bunch and the laser beam. The presen…
