  • Methods of generating high magnetic fields are surveyed, and the design and construction of a pulsed field set are described. Capacitors are used to store the energy, and are discharged through a triggered spark gap into a special wire-wound solenoid. By this method, fields up to 280 kilogauss have been produced. A method of plotting magnetisation curves in high fields is described, and results are given for gadolinium. Sources of error and possible improvements in the experimental technique are discussed.

  • We performed optical electric field measurements ion nanosecond time scales using the electrooptic crystal beta barium borate (BBO). Tests were based on a preliminary bench top design intended to be a proofofprinciple stepping stone towards a modulardesign optical Efield diagnostic that has no metal in the interrogated environment. The long term goal is to field a modular version of the diagnostic in experiments on large scale xray source facilities, or similarly harsh environments.
  • A simple model is presented which is capable of describing the detailed space-time evolution of the interaction of long wavelength electromagnetic radiation with an unmagnetized plasma having a nonuniform density profile. The model consists of describing the electric field via the nonlinear Schrodinger equation and the density changes through the ion-acoustic wave equation with the ponderomotive force effects included self-consistently. In the linear regime, this formulation explains the time evolution of the mode-conversion process that leads to the excitation of a short wavelength Langmuir wave in the neighborhood of the resonance layer where the frequency of the external radiation matchesmore » the local value of the electron plasma frequency. In the nonlinear regime, the model predicts the generation of density cavities and the associated spatial localization of the electric field.« less
