Applied axial magnetic field effects on laboratory plasma jets: Density hollowing, field compression, and azimuthal rotation

Journal Article Byvank, T. ; Banasek, J. T. ; Potter, W. M. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

We experimentally measure the effects of an applied axial magnetic field (B_z) on laboratory plasma jets and compare experimental results with numerical simulations using an extended magnetohydrodynamics code. A 1 MA peak current, 100 ns rise time pulse power machine is used to generate the plasma jet. On application of the axial field, we observe on-axis density hollowing and a conical formation of the jet using interferometry, compression of the applied B_z using magnetic B-dot probes, and azimuthal rotation of the jet using Thomson scattering. Experimentally, we find densities ≤ 5×10¹⁷ cm^-3 on-axis relative to jet densities of ≥ 3×10¹⁸more »« less

Multi-angle multi-pulse time-resolved Thomson scattering on laboratory plasma jets

Journal Article Banasek, J. T. ; Rocco, S. V. R. ; Potter, W. M. ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

A single channel sub-nanosecond time-resolved Thomson scattering system used for pulsed power-driven high energy density plasma measurements has been upgraded to give electron temperatures at two different times and from two different angles simultaneously. This system was used here to study plasma jets created from a 15 μm thick radial Al foil load on a 1 MA pulsed power machine. Two laser pulses were generated by splitting the initial 2.3 ns duration, 10 J, 526.5 nm laser beam into two pulses, each with 2.5 J, and delaying one relative to the other by between 3 and 14 ns.

New type of large-scale experiments for laboratory astrophysics with collimated jets of laser plasma in a transverse magnetic field

Journal Article Zakharov, Yu. P. ; Ponomarenko, A. G. ; Posukh, V. G. ; ... - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

We report the results for the first complex experiment on the formation of an extended (up to ∼0.5 m) plasma jet in a magnetic field (up to 300 G) in vacuum. The jet appears due to the injection of laser plasma bunches with a kinetic energy up to ∼50 J across the magnetic field (in a solid angle Ω ≈ 1 sr) and a high degree of magnetisation of ions on the calculated scale field-induced deceleration of the bunch as a part of a sphere. A plastic target (polyethylene) has been irradiated by a CO{sub 2} laser in the mostmore »« less

The Influence of the Hall Term on the Development of Magnetized Laser-Produced Plasma Jets

Journal Article Hamlin, N.D. ; Seyler, C. E. ; Khiar, B. - Physics of Plasmas

We present 2D axisymmetric simulation results describing the influence of the Hall term on laser-produced plasma jets and their interaction with an applied magnetic field parallel to the laser axis. Bending of the poloidal B-field lines produces an MHD shock structure surrounding a conical cavity, and a jet is produced from the convergence of the shock envelope. Both the jet and the conical cavity underneath it are bound by fast MHD shocks. We compare the MHD results generated using the extended-MHD code Physics as an Extended-MHD Relaxation System with an Efficient Upwind Scheme (PERSEUS) with MHD results generated using GORGONmore »« less

Plasma Jet Formation Disruption From a Critical Applied Uniform Axial Magnetic Field

Journal Article Byvank, Tom ; Hamlin, Nathaniel ; Atoyan, Levon ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science

We examine the effects of varying the magnitude of an applied, uniform, axial magnetic field (Bz) on the formation of laboratory plasma jets produced by a 1-MA 100-ns rise time pulsed power generator in a radial foil configuration. A Helmholtz coil applies the external magnetic field (0 to 2 T). With a small-enough applied field, the foil surface ablation is relatively azimuthally uniform, and J×B forces drive the ablated plasma inward and upward to form a well-defined azimuthally symmetric jet. Using applied field strengths larger than a critical Bz = 1.1±0.1 T with aluminum foils, the plasma ablation is notmore »« less
