Three-dimensional dynamics of break-out afterburner ion acceleration using high-contrast short-pulse laser and nano-scale targets
TL;DR: In this article, the first-ever kinetic simulations of the Breakout Afterburner (BOA) in three dimensions are presented, showing that the ion beam forms lobes in the direction orthogonal to laser polarization and propagation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fast ignition with laser-driven proton and ion beams
Juan C. Fernández,Brian J. Albright,Farhat Beg,Mark Foord,Bjorn Hegelich,J. J. Honrubia,Markus Roth,Richard B. Stephens,Lin Yin +8 more
TL;DR: Fusion fast ignition (FI) initiated by a laser-driven particle beam promises a path to high-yield and high-gain for inertial fusion energy as discussed by the authors, while leveraging the extensive recent progress in generating ion beams with high-power density on existing laser facilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress and prospects of ion-driven fast ignition
Juan C. Fernández,J. J. Honrubia,Brian J. Albright,Kirk Flippo,D. Cort Gautier,Bjorn Hegelich,Mark J. Schmitt,M. Temporal,Lin Yin +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the ion-based fusion fast ignition (FI) initiated by laser-driven ion beams is examined, and the requirements on the ignitor beam derived from that modelling are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forced magnetic reconnection
Joachim Birn,Klaus Galsgaard,Michael Hesse,Masahiro Hoshino,J. D. Huba,Giovanni Lapenta,P. L. Pritchett,Karl Schindler,Lin Yin,Jörg Büchner,Thomas Neukirch,Eric Priest +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate current sheet thinning and the onset and progress of fast magnetic reconnection, initiated by temporally limited, spatially varying, inflow of magnetic flux.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relativistic Buneman instability in the laser breakout afterburner
Brian J. Albright,Lin Yin,Kevin J. Bowers,Bjorn Hegelich,Kirk Flippo,Thomas J. T. Kwan,Juan C. Fernández +6 more
TL;DR: Yin et al. as discussed by the authors identified a new laser-driven ion acceleration mechanism in particle-in-cell simulations of high-contrast-ratio ultraintense lasers with very thin (10s of nm) solid targets.
