Volumetric creation of ultra-high-energy-density plasma by irradiation of ordered nanowire arrays
Creating appreciable volumes of Ultra-High-Energy Density (UHED) matter in the laboratory is a challenge. Recent developments in the fabrication of vertically aligned nanowire array targets, in coordination with ultra-high-contrast femtosecond laser pulses focused to relativistic intensity, have …

Laboratory Experiments of High-Energy-Density Shocks in Magnetized Supersonic Plasma Flows
… in many astrophysical environments, in which high Mach number flows interact with ambient media, planetary obstacles, and/or spacecraft to generate strongly radiating shocks. Some examples include extrastellar jets from radio galaxies, relativistic jets from quasars and blazars, Herbig-Haro …

Design of Optical Measurements for Electrothermal Plasma Discharges
Ablation controlled electrothermal (ET) plasma discharge devices consist of a small diameter capillary through which a large amount of energy is discharged. The high energy in the discharge ablates an inner sleeve material, ionizes the material, and a high energy-density plasma jet accelerates out …

Noncollective X-Ray Thomson Scattering Diagnostic Development Based On A Titanium Hybrid X-Pinch X-Ray Source
… and inelastic Compton scattering observed from high density systems using energetic probe energies at the keV x-ray level. Thermal x-ray probes have historically been created by delivering 1014 [-] 1016 W/cm2 to a mid-Z metal foil such as titanium using kilojoule-class lasers. An XRTS probe …

X-ray Radiative Signatures Influenced by Nonthermal Effects in High-Energy-Density Laboratory Plasmas of Mid-Atomic-Number Z-pinches
… utility for noninvasive investigation of high-energy-density (HED) plasma environments with broad application to atomic physics, astrophysics, and HED laboratory physics, including inertial confinement fusion (ICF), making it an inimitable tool for interdisciplinary science. Spectroscopic …
