Laser-driven fast electron collimation in targets with resistivity boundary.
We demonstrate experimentally that the relativistic electron flow in a dense plasma can be efficiently confined and guided in targets exhibiting a high-resistivity-core-low-resistivity-cladding structure analogous to optical waveguides. The relativistic electron beam is shown to be confined to an area of the order of the core diameter (50 μm), which has the potential to substantially enhance th...
متن کاملLaser driven fast electron collimation by magnetic fields from structured targets
Collimation of relativistic electron beams is achieved experimentally by using structured targets. We compare the transport of hot electrons produced during the interaction of an ultra intense laser pulse through the structured target and flat targets. Results confirm that effective collimation of electron beams is realized by employing structured targets which have a radial discontinuity in th...
متن کاملRecent Studies in Fast Electron Energy Transport Relevant to Fast Ignition Inertial Fusion
The first results of an experimental campaign are reported in which it is intended to demonstrate whether it is possible for the fast electron beam (produced at irradiances in excess of 1019 Wcm−2μm2) to be artificially collimated even when the beam enters the target with a large divergence angle. The artificial collimation occurs because of a pre-generated magnetic field that is produced by a ...

متن کاملFast Ignition Studies at Sandia National Laboratories
This talk will describe ongoing and planned fast ignition theoretical and experimental work using the Z-machine in concert with the upgraded Z-Beamlet/PW laser system. Z can produce x-ray powers of 100-250TW, x-ray energies 1-1.8MJ, and > 200eV radiation temperatures and thus represents an interesting platform for compressing large quantities of matter for use as fast ignition targets. Soon Z w...
