| 1 | Detailed characterization of a laboratory magnetized supercritical collisionless shock and of the associated proton energization显示文摘Collisionless shocks are ubiquitous in the Universe and are held responsible for the production of nonthermal particles and high-energy radiation.In the absence of particle collisions in the system,theory shows that the interaction of an expanding plasma with a pre-existing electromagnetic structure(as in our case)is able to induce energy dissipation and allow shock formation.Shock formation can alternatively take place when two plasmas interact,through microscopic instabilities inducing electromagnetic fields that are able in turn to mediate energy dissipation and shock formation.Using our platform in which we couple a rapidly expanding plasma induced by high-power lasers(JLF/Titan at LLNL and LULI2000)with high-strength magnetic fields,we have investigated the generation of a magnetized collisionless shock and the associated particle energization.We have characterized the shock as being collisionless and supercritical.We report here on measurements of the plasma density and temperature,the electromagnetic field structures,and the particle energization in the experiments,under various conditions of ambient plasma and magnetic field.We have also modeled the formation of the shocks using macroscopic hydrodynamic simulations and the associated particle acceleration using kinetic particle-in-cell simulations.As a companion paper to Yao et al.[Nat.Phys.17,1177–1182(2021)],here we show additional results of the experiments and simulations,providing more information to allow their reproduction and to demonstrate the robustness of our interpretation of the proton energization mechanism as being shock surfing acceleration. | W.Yao A.Fazzini S.N.Chen K.Burdonov P.Antici J.B´eard S.Bolaños A.Ciardi R.Diab E.D.Filippov S.Kisyov V.Lelasseux M.Miceli Q.Moreno V.Nastasa S.Orlando S.Pikuz D.C.Popescu G.Revet X.Ribeyre E.d’Humi`eres J.Fuchs | 2022 | Matter and Radiation at Extremes2022,7,1: | 0 |
| 2 | Characterization of hot electrons generated by laser-plasma interaction at shock ignition intensities显示文摘In an experiment carried out at the Prague Asterix Laser System at laser intensities relevant to shock ignition conditions(I>10^(16) W/cm^(2)),the heating and transport of hot electrons were studied by using several complementary diagnostics,i.e.,K_(α)time-resolved imaging,hard x-ray filtering(a bremsstrahlung cannon),and electron spectroscopy.Ablators with differing composition from low Z(parylene N)to high Z(nickel)were used in multilayer planar targets to produce plasmas with different coronal temperature and collisionality and modify the conditions of hot-electron generation.The variety of available diagnostics allowed full characterization of the population of hot electrons,retrieving their conversion efficiency,time generation and duration,temperature,and angular divergence.The obtained results are shown to be consistent with those from detailed simulations and similar inertial confinement fusion experiments.Based on the measured data,the advantages,reliability,and complementarity of the experimental diagnostics are discussed. | E.D.Filippov M.Khan A.Tentori P.Gajdos A.S.Martynenko R.Dudzak P.Koester G.Zeraouli D.Mancelli F.Baffigi L.A.Gizzi S.A.Pikuz Ph.D.Nicolaï N.C.Woolsey R.Fedosejevs M.Krus L.Juha D.Batani O.Renner G.Cristoforetti | 2023 | Matter and Radiation at Extremes2023,8,6: | 0 |
| 3 | Precise wavelength measurements of potassium He- and Li-like satellites emitted from the laser plasma of a mineral target显示文摘Atomic models of high-Zmulticharged ions are extremely complex and require experimental validation.Oneway to do so is to crosscheck the predicted wavelengths of resonance transitions in He-and Li-like ions against precise spectroscopic measurements that use the spectral lines of H-like ions for spectra calibration;these reference data can be modeled with outstanding precision.However,for elements with Z of at least 15,it is quite difficult to create a hot dense plasma with a large concentration ofH-like charge states.To mitigate this issue,the suggestion here is to use as laser targets particular minerals comprising elements with moderate(between 15 and 30)and low(less than 15)Z,with emission from the latter delivering perfect reference lines over a whole range o fHe-and Li-like moderate-Z emission under examination.This approach is implemented to measure the wavelengths of resonance transitions(1snp→1s^(2) for n=2,3)in He-likeKions and their dielectronic satellites by irradiating plates of orthoclase(KAlSi_(3)O_(8))with0.5-kJ subnanosecond laser pulses.X-ray spectra of the laser-generated plasma contain the investigated lines of highly charged K-ions together with precisely known reference lines of H-like Al and Si atoms.The K-shell spectral line wavelengths are measured with a precision of around 0.3 mA. | S.N.Ryazantsev I.Yu.Skobelev E.D.Filippov A.S.Martynenko M.D.Mishchenko M.Krus O.Renner S.A.Pikuz | 2021 | Matter and Radiation at Extremes2021,6,1: | 0 |
| 4 | X-ray spectroscopy evidence for plasma shell formation in experiments modeling accretion columns in young stars显示文摘Recent achievements in laboratory astrophysics experiments with high-power lasers have allowed progress in our understanding of the early stages of star formation.In particular,we have recently demonstrated the possibility of simulating in the laboratory the process of the accretion of matter on young stars[G.Revet et al.,Sci.Adv.3,e1700982(2017)].The present paper focuses on x-ray spectroscopy methods that allow us to investigate the complex plasma hydrodynamics involved in such experiments.We demonstrate that we can infer the formation of a plasma shell,surrounding the accretion column at the location of impact with the stellar surface,and thus resolve the present discrepancies between mass accretion rates derived from x-ray and optical-radiation astronomical observations originating from the same object.In our experiments,the accretion column ismodeled by having a collimated narrow(1 mm diameter)plasma stream first propagate along the lines of a large-scale external magnetic field and then impact onto an obstacle,mimicking the high-density region of the stellar chromosphere.A combined approach using steady-state and quasi-stationarymodels was successfully applied tomeasure the parameters of the plasma all along its propagation,at the impact site,and in the structure surrounding the impact region.The formation of a hot plasma shell,surrounding the denser and colder core,formed by the incoming stream of matter is observed near the obstacle using x-ray spatially resolved spectroscopy. | E.D.Filippov I.Yu.Skobelev G.Revet S.N.Chen B.Khiar A.Ciardi D.Khaghani D.P.Higginson S.A.Pikuz J.Fuchs | 2019 | Matter and Radiation at Extremes2019,4,6: | 0 |
