Title: Laser propagation measurements in long-scale-length underdense plasmas relevant to magnetized liner inertial fusion

Abstract

Here, we report the first experimental results and simulations showing efficient laser energy coupling into plasmas at conditions relevant to the MAGnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF) concept.
