Abstract

An electromagnetic solenoid was developed to study the effect of magnetic fields on electron thermal transport in laser plasmas. The solenoid, which is driven by a pulsed power system supplying 30 kJ, achieves magnetic fields of 13 T. The field strength was measured on the solenoid axis with a magnetic probe and optical Zeeman splitting. The measurements agree well with analytical estimates. A method for optimizing the solenoid design to achieve magnetic fields exceeding 20 T is presented.

High Magnetic field generation for laser-plasma experiments

Conference Pollock, B; Froula, D; Davis, P; ...

An electromagnetic solenoid was developed to study the effect of magnetic fields on electron thermal transport in laser plasmas. The solenoid, which is driven by a pulsed power system suppling 30 kJ, achieves magnetic fields of 13 T. The field strength was measured on the solenoid axis with a magnetic probe and optical Zeeman splitting. The measurements agree well with analytical estimates. A method for optimizing the solenoid design to achieve magnetic fields exceeding 20 T is presented.

Development and Characterization of a High Magnetic Field Solenoid for Laser Plasma Experiments

Conference Pollock, B; Froula, D; Davis, P; ...

An electromagnetic solenoid was developed to study the quenching of nonlocal heat transport in laser-produced gas-jet plasmas by high external magnetic fields. The solenoid, which is driven by a pulsed power system supplying 30 kJ, achieves fields exceeding 10 T. Temporally resolved measurements of the electron temperature profile transverse to a high power laser beam were obtained using Thomson Scattering. A method for optimizing the solenoid design based on the available stored energy is presented.

Fast ignition realization experiment with high-contrast kilo-joule peta-watt LFEX laser and strong external magnetic field

Journal Article Fujioka, Shinsuke; Arikawa, Yasunobu; Kojima, Sadaoki; ... - Physics of Plasmas

A petawatt laser for fast ignition experiments (LFEX) laser system [N. Miyanaga et al., J. Phys. IV France 133, 81 (2006)], which is currently capable of delivering 2 kJ in a 1.5 ps pulse using 4 laser beams, has been constructed beside the GEKKO-XII laser facility for demonstrating efficient fast heating of a dense plasma up to the ignition temperature under the auspices of the Fast Ignition Realization EXperiment (FIREX) project [H. Azechi et al., Nucl. Fusion 49, 104024 (2009)]. In the FIREX experiment, a cone is attached to a spherical target containing a fuel to prevent a corona plasma frommore »« less

Design of Zeeman spectroscopy experiment with magnetized silicon plasma generated in the laboratory

Journal Article Liu, Chang; Matsuo, Kazuki; Ferri, Sandrine; ... - High Energy Density Physics

A laboratory measurement of the Zeeman effect in the soft X-ray range can be realized using a laser-produced strong magnetic field and laser-driven magnetic field compression. In this measurement, a pair of laser-driven capacitor-coil targets produces a spatially uniform seed magnetic field of several hundred Tesla, and a low-density SiO₂ foam is soaked in the magnetic field. Additionally, a strongly magnetized high-energy-density SiO₂ plasma is then produced by laser-driven compressions of both the foam and the magnetic field. According to a numerical hydrodynamic simulation, a >10 kT peak magnetic field is achievable with a 100 T seed magnetic field producedmore »« less

Laser induced fluorescence diagnostic for measuring small magnetic fields

Journal Article Noonan, W; Jones, T; Ottinger, P - Review of Scientific Instruments

A novel, spatially and temporally resolved diagnostic is being developed to measure small {bold B} fields by detecting Zeeman shifts much smaller than the transition linewidth. This diagnostic technique will be used to measure magnetic fields associated with intense ion beam propagation through a low-pressure gas, as envisioned for particle beam fusion. High sensitivity is achieved by a variation on the Babcock technique using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy. The LIF from a J=1{r_arrow}0 transition in a probe species is viewed parallel to {bold B}. In this direction, {Delta}M=0 fluorescence is not observed, while {Delta}M={plus_minus}1 fluorescence is right- and left-circularly polarizedmore »« less
