Argon based capillary discharge lasers operating in the extreme ultra violet (EUV) at 46.9 nm output up to 0.5 mJ energy per pulse at up to 10 Hz repetition rates are capable of focussed irradiances of 10 10 W cm−2 and can be used to generate plasma in the warm dense matter regime by irradiating solid material. To model the interaction between such an EUV laser and solid material, the 2D radiat...

This paper investigates the effect of circuit inductance on pinch-time plasma focus. The dense focus is a discharge powered by capacitor bank. Mather type Dense Plasma Focus constructed in cylindrical geometry and made up coaxial anodes cathodes with varying radiuses. An insulator sleeve separates electrodes, cathode rode forms circles around anode tube. Different parameters, such as structure ...

ABSTRACT Magnetic confinement of dense plasma is found in the magnetospheres both high- and low-mass stars. Trapped material traces magnetic field structure, often at large distances from star where structure otherwise difficult to observe. This work looks specifically rapidly rotating, solar-like stars this behaviour well observed form ‘slingshot’ prominences. We have produced a model for gene...
