Abstract

International audience; We present the results of an experimental investigation of the temporal evolution of plasmas produced by high power laser irradiation of various types of target materials. We obtained 'high-quality' interferometric data on the evolution of the plasma electronic profile, which can be directly compared with analytical models and numerical simulations. For aluminium and plastic targets, the agreement with 1D simulations performed with the hydrocode MULTI is excellent, at least for large times (t ≥ 400 ps). In this case, simulations also show that the effect of radiation transport is negligible. The situation is quite different for gold targets for which, in order to get a fair enough agreement, we must take radiation transport into account.

Abstract

We performed an experiment with cone targets in planar geometry devoted to the study of fast electron generation, propagation, and target heating.. This was done at LULI with the 100 TW laser at intensities up to 10 19 W/cm 2 . Fast electrons penetration, with and without cones, was studied with different diagnostics (Kα imaging, Kα spectroscopy, visible emission) for ω or 2ω irradiation. At ω, the pre-plasma generated by the laser pedestal fills the cone and prevents the beam from reaching the tip.

Abstract

International audience; This work provides analytical solutions describing the post-shock structure of radiative shocks growing in astrophysics and in laboratory. The equations including a cooling function Lambda vprop epsilon rhozeta xtheta are solved for any values of the exponents epsilon, zeta and theta. This modeling is appropriate to astrophysics as the observed radiative shocks arise in optically thin media. In contrast, in laboratory, radiative shocks performed using high-power lasers present a radiative precursor because the plasma is more or less optically thick. We study the post-shock region in the laboratory case and compare with astrophysical shock structure. In addition, we attempt to use the same equations to describe the radiative precursor, but the cooling function is slightly modified. In future experiments we will probe the PSR using X-ray diagnostics. These new experimental results will allow to validate our astrophysical numerical codes.

Abstract

A certain number of experiments have been performed and planned for the future aiming to reproduce in a laboratory common astrophysical situations [1]. Among those, astrophysical jets have been the subject of elaborate studies in both theory [2] and observations [3]. Nevertheless, they still raise problems such as the 'jet collimation'. Two different approaches have been recently proposed and investigated: Vfoil [4] and Foam filled cones [5]. We present here the numerical approach to simulate such phenomena to better understand the mechanism underneath the jet formation. Numerical simulations can serve also as useful tool to guide decisions regarding the future experiments.

Abstract

International audience; This article reports the observation of the dense, collapsed layer produced by a radiative shock in a laboratory experiment. The experiment uses laser irradiation to accelerate a thin layer of solid-density material to above 100 km/s, the first to probe such high velocities in a radiative shock. The layer in turn drives a shock wave through a cylindrical volume of Xe gas (at ~6 mg/cm3). Radiation from the shocked Xe removes enough energy that the shocked layer increases in density and collapses spatially. This type of system is relevant to a number of astrophysical contexts, providing the potential to observe phenomena of interest to astrophysics and to test astrophysical computer codes.

Abstract

In this paper, new results on radiative shocks generated by a high power laser in a xenon gas cell are presented. Several shock parameters were measured: temperature, radial expansion and velocity, as well as the electron density in the radiative precursor and its velocity. Multiple laser shot allowed the investigation of physical trends changing initial conditions (laser energy and initial gas pressure). Results are compared with one- and two-dimensional radiative hydrodynamic simulations. The experiments were carried out at the LULI Laboratory.

Abstract

We studied the induced plasma heating in three different kind of targets: mass limited, foam targets and large mass targets. The experiment was performed at Alisé laser facility of CEA/CESTA. The laser system emitted a ∼1-ps pulse with ∼10 J energy at a wavelength of ∼1 μm. Mass limited targets had three layers with thickness 10 μm C8H8, 1 μm C8H7Cl, 10 μm C8H8 with size 100 μm×100 μm. Detailed spectroscopic analysis of X-rays emitted from the Cl tracer showed that it was possible to heat up the plasma mass limited targets to a temperature ∼250 eV with density ∼1021 cm-3. The plasma heating is only produced by fast electron transport in the target, being the 10 μm C8H8 overcoating thick enough to prevent any possible direct irradiation of the tracer layer even taking into account mass-ablation due to the pre-pulse. These results demonstrate that with mass limited targets is possible to generate a plasma heated up to several hundreds eV. It is also very important for research concerning high energy density phenomena and for fast ignition (in particular for the study of fast electrons transport and induced heating).

Abstract

We present Hugoniot data for plastic foams with initial density in the range 60 – 130 mg/cm3, obtained with laser‐driven shocks propagating in double layer Al/foam targets. The experiment was performed using the Prague PALS iodine laser working at 0.44 μm wavelength and irradiances up to a few 1014 W/cm2. Pressures as high as 3.6 Mbar (previously unreached for such low density materials) were generated in the foams.
