The field of nuclear diagnostics for Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) is broadly reviewed
from its beginning in the seventies to present day. During this time, the sophistication of the …

Proton imaging is commonly used to reveal the electric and magnetic fields that are found in
high energy density plasmas. Presented here is an analysis of this technique that is directed …

The magnetic fields generated at the surface of a laser-irradiated planar solid target are
mapped using ultrafast proton radiography. Thick (50 μ m) plastic foils are irradiated with 4 …

The first experimental demonstration of Rayleigh-Taylor-induced magnetic fields due to the
Biermann battery effect has been made. Experiments with laser-irradiated plastic foils were …

Contact and projection electron radiography of static targets was demonstrated using a laser–
plasma accelerator driven by a kilojoule, picosecond-class laser as a source of relativistic …

, provides a new diagnostic capability to study inertial-confinement-fusion (ICF) and high-
energy-density (HED) plasmas. Specifically, petawatt OMEGA EP pulses have been used to …

The intricate spatial and energy distribution of magnetic fields, self-generated during high
power laser irradiation (at I λ 2∼ 1 0 13-1 0 14 W. cm− 2. μ m 2) of a solid target, and of the …

Electric and self-generated magnetic fields in direct-drive implosion experiments on the
OMEGA Laser Facility were investigated employing radiography with∼ 10-to 60-MeV …

A generalization of the Braginskii ion fluid description [SI Braginskii, Sov. Phys.-JETP 6, 358
(1958)] to the case of an unmagnetized collisional plasma with multiple ion species is …

Direct numerical simulation of intense laser–solid interactions is still of great challenges,
because of the many coupled atomic and plasma processes, such as ionization dynamics …
