Direct laser acceleration: A model for the electron injection from the walls of a cylindrical guiding structure

Wed, 06/05/2024 - 10:00

Author(s): P. Valenta, D. Maslarova, R. Babjak, B. Martinez, S. V. Bulanov, and M. Vranić

We use analytical methods and particle-in-cell simulation to investigate the origin of electrons accelerated by the process of direct laser acceleration driven by high-power laser pulses in preformed narrow cylindrical plasma channels. The simulation shows that the majority of accelerated electrons …

Sensitivity of magnetohydrodynamic simulations of Joule-heated conductors to the vaporization curve in equations of state

Tue, 06/04/2024 - 10:00

Author(s): Seth E. Kreher, Christopher L. Rousculp, Bruno S. Bauer, Trevor M. Hutchinson, Aidan W. Klemmer, Charles E. Starrett, and Edmund P. Yu

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of electrically exploded aluminum and copper rods demonstrate a technique to validate equations of state (EOS) for rapidly Joule-heated conductors. The balance of internal and magnetic forces at the conductor-insulator interface drives the metal there along the …

Impact of mid-$Z$ gas fill on dynamics and performance of shock-driven implosions at the OMEGA laser

Mon, 06/03/2024 - 10:00

Author(s): M. Gatu Johnson, P. J. Adrian, B. D. Appelbe, A. J. Crilly, C. J. Forrest, V. Yu. Glebov, L. M. Green, B. M. Haines, N. V. Kabadi, G. Kagan, B. D. Keenan, J. Kunimune, C. K. Li, O. M. Mannion, R. D. Petrasso, F. H. Séguin, H. W. Sio, C. Stoeckl, G. D. Sutcliffe, W. T. Taitano, and J. A. Frenje

Shock-driven implosions with 100% deuterium (D2) gas fill compared to implosions with 50:50 nitrogen-deuterium (N2D2) gas fill have been performed at the OMEGA laser facility to test the impact of the added mid-Z fill gas on implosion performance. Ion temperature (Tion) as inferred from the width of…
