Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of collisionless shocks in a large current‐free laboratory plasma
Christoph Niemann,Walter Gekelman,Carmen Constantin,Erik Everson,Derek Schaeffer,A. S. Bondarenko,S. E. Clark,Dan Winske,Stephen Vincena,B. Van Compernolle,Patrick Pribyl +10 more
TL;DR: The first measurements of the formation and structure of a magnetized collisionless shock by a laser-driven magnetic piston in a current-free laboratory plasma were reported in this article. But their results were limited to the case of a single piston.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of exploding plasmas in a large magnetized plasma
Christoph Niemann,Walter Gekelman,Carmen Constantin,Erik Everson,Derek Schaeffer,S. E. Clark,Dan Winske,Alex Zylstra,Patrick Pribyl,Shreekrishna Tripathi,David Larson,Siegfried Glenzer,A. S. Bondarenko +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamics of an exploding laser-produced plasma in a large ambient magneto-plasma was investigated with magnetic flux probes and Langmuir probes, and it was shown that the majority of the ambient ions are energized by the magnetic piston and swept outside the bubble volume.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybrid simulation of shock formation for super-Alfvénic expansion of laser ablated debris through an ambient, magnetized plasma
S. E. Clark,Dan Winske,Derek Schaeffer,Erik Everson,A. S. Bondarenko,Carmen Constantin,Christoph Niemann +6 more
TL;DR: Two-dimensional hybrid simulations of perpendicular collisionless shocks are modeled after potential laboratory conditions that are attainable in the LArge Plasma Device (LAPD) at the University of California, Los Angeles Basic Plasma Science Facility as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Collisionless momentum transfer in space and astrophysical explosions
A. S. Bondarenko,Derek Schaeffer,Erik Everson,S. E. Clark,B. R. Lee,Carmen Constantin,Stephen Vincena,B. Van Compernolle,Shreekrishna Tripathi,Dan Winske,Christoph Niemann +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a reproducible laboratory experiment that combines an explosive laser-produced plasma cloud with preformed, magnetized ambient plasma in a parameter regime relevant to the AMPTE barium releases is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser-driven, magnetized quasi-perpendicular collisionless shocks on the Large Plasma Devicea)
Derek Schaeffer,Erik Everson,A. S. Bondarenko,S. E. Clark,Carmen Constantin,S. T. Vincena,B. Van Compernolle,Shreekrishna Tripathi,Dan Winske,Walter Gekelman,C. Niemann +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, Niemann et al. studied the interaction of a super-Alfvenic magnetic piston with a large, preformed magnetized ambient plasma by utilizing a unique experimental platform that couples the Raptor kJ-class laser system.
