Experimental platform for investigations of high-intensity laser plasma interactions in the magnetic field of a pulsed power generator

Abstract: An experimental platform for the studying of high-intensity laser plasma interactions in strong magnetic fields has been developed based on the 1 MA Zebra pulsed power generator coupled with the 50-TW Leopard laser. The Zebra generator produces 100-300 T longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields with different types of loads. The Leopard laser creates plasma at an intensity of 10 W/cm in the magnetic field of coil loads. Focusing and targeting systems are integrated in the vacuum chamber of the pulsed power … Show more

“…(3.9) and (3.10) are undoubtedly overestimates, nevertheless, they establish the optimum seed magnetic field for surface field generation to be on the order of kT for few-µm-thick targets with a 0 10. Such fields are rapidly becoming experimentally relevant [19,27].…”

“…Lastly, relativistically thermal plasma can still be produced when the magnetic field is reduced to 200 T, which will enable the use of both pulsed power [22][23][24][25][26] and laser-driven [27][28][29][30] devices. Simulations conducted with a 200-T magnetic field and scaled pulse durations (ω c0 τ s and τ ℓ /τ L kept constant on decreasing B 0 ) exhibit similar saturation behavior with increasing L [Fig.…”

“…The emergence of new magnetic field generation techniques [1][2][3][4][5] and structured target fabrication capabilities [6][7][8][9] coupled with the continual development of relativistic short pulse lasers 10 is rapidly enabling new regimes of magnetized high energy density (HED) physics. The combination of a strong magnetic field and HED plasma offers the opportunity to observe new magnetization-related phenomena in areas such as laboratory astrophysics [11][12][13] and to obtain improvements in applications including inertial fusion energy [14][15][16] and ion acceleration [17][18][19][20] .…”
