Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic reconnection between colliding magnetized laser-produced plasma plumes
Gennady Fiksel,William Fox,Amitava Bhattacharjee,Daniel Barnak,Po-Yu Chang,Kai Germaschewski,Suxing Hu,P. M. Nilson +7 more
TL;DR: Observations of magnetic reconnection between colliding plumes of magnetized laser-produced plasma are presented, allowing the first detailed observations of a stretched current sheet in laser-driven reconnection experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generation and Evolution of High-Mach-Number Laser-Driven Magnetized Collisionless Shocks in the Laboratory.
Derek Schaeffer,William Fox,Dan Haberberger,G. Fiksel,Amitava Bhattacharjee,Amitava Bhattacharjee,Daniel Barnak,Suxing Hu,Kai Germaschewski +8 more
TL;DR: The results show that the shocks form on time scales as fast as one gyroperiod, aided by the efficient coupling of energy, and the generation of a magnetic barrier between the piston and ambient ions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser-driven magnetized liner inertial fusion
J. R. Davies,Daniel Barnak,Riccardo Betti,E. M. Campbell,Po-Yu Chang,Po-Yu Chang,Adam B Sefkow,Kyle Peterson,Daniel Sinars,M. R. Weis +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a laser-driven, magnetized liner inertial fusion (MagLIF) experiment is designed for the OMEGA Laser System by scaling down the Z point design to provide the first experimental data on MagLIF scaling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of external magnetic fields in hohlraum plasmas to improve laser-coupling
D. S. Montgomery,Brian J. Albright,Daniel Barnak,Po-Yu Chang,J. R. Davies,Gennady Fiksel,Dustin Froula,John Kline,Michael MacDonald,Michael MacDonald,Adam B Sefkow,Lin Yin,Riccardo Betti +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of an external magnetic field on laser-energy coupling in hohlraum targets were investigated using low-Z gas-filled targets placed in a magnetic coil with Bz ≥ 7.5 T.
Journal ArticleDOI
Note: Experimental platform for magnetized high-energy-density plasma studies at the omega laser facility.
Gennady Fiksel,A. Agliata,Daniel Barnak,G. Brent,Po-Yu Chang,L. Folnsbee,G. Gates,D. Hasset,D. Lonobile,J. Magoon,D. Mastrosimone,Milton J. Shoup,Riccardo Betti +12 more
TL;DR: The updated version of the pulsed magnetic field generator magneto-inertial fusion electrical discharge system has a larger energy storage and improved switching system and magnetic coils are fabricated using 3-D printing technology which allows for a greater variety of the magnetic field topology.
