    Observation of energetic protons trapped in laboratory magnetic-tower jets

    , New Journal of Physics, Vol: 15, ISSN: 1367-2630

    Preliminary results of the self-emission of charged particles frommagnetically driven plasma jets has been investigated. The jets were launchedand driven by a toroidal magnetic field generated by introducing a ∼1.4 MA,250 ns electrical current pulse from the MAGPIE generator into a radialwire array. This configuration has shown to reproduce some aspects of theastrophysical magnetic-tower jet launching model, in which a jet is collimatedby a toroidal magnetic field inside a magnetic cavity. The emission of ions andprotons from the plasma was recorded onto Columbia Resin 39 plates using timeintegratedpinhole cameras. In addition a fly-eye camera, an array of 25–496cylindrical apertures allowed estimating the location of the ion emitting source.The results show the ion emission comes from both the jet and its surroundingmagnetic cavity, with the emission extending to a height of at least ∼9 cm fromthe initial position of the wires. The emission of ions is consistent with the dynamics of the jet obtained from time-resolved imaging diagnostics, i.e. opticallaser probing and self-emission of the plasma in the extreme ultra-violet. Thesepreliminary results suggest the ions are trapped inside the cavity due to the strongtoroidal magnetic field which drives the jet. In addition these studies providefirst estimates of the energy and fluence of protons for future laser-driven protonprobing diagnostics aimed at measuring the magnetic field in these experiments.

    Briefing: Blast effects on biological systems

    , Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers: Engineering and Computational Mechanics, Vol: 166, Pages: 113-118, ISSN: 1755-0777

    A signature of current conflicts is the use of buried improvised explosive devices to cause injury to military personnel and damage to their vehicles. Explosive devices also cause injuries to non-military populations in current and former conflict zones. The nature and placement of the explosive charge has a marked effect on the loading experienced. In all situations, damage to tissues occurs when the energy and loading rate exceeds that which the human body can support. Currently, it is difficult to predict the various time-dependent effects of blast injury because of the complexities of the rapid initial accelerations, the loading geometries and the heterogeneous nature of the tissues that can be damaged. An outline of the ways in which one may study how explosive energy interacts with biological systems is presented along with a discussion of how the data generated can be used to develop improved, costeffective strategies for studying blast injury processes.

    Determination of the inductance of imploding wire array Z-pinches using measurements of load voltage

    , Physics of Plasmas, Vol: 20, ISSN: 1089-7674

    The inductance of imploding cylindrical wire array z-pinches has been determined frommeasurements of load voltage and current. A thorough analysis method is presented that explainshow the load voltage of interest is found from raw signals obtained using a resistive voltagedivider. This method is applied to voltage data obtained during z-pinch experiments carried out onthe MAGPIE facility (1.4 MA, 240 ns rise-time) in order to calculate the load inductance andthereafter the radial trajectory of the effective current sheath during the snowplough implosion.Voltage and current are monitored very close to the load, allowing these calculations to be carriedout without the need for circuit modelling. Measurements give a convergence ratio for the currentof between 3.1 and 5.7 at stagnation of the pinch.

    Ablation dynamics in coiled wire-array Z-pinches

    , Physics of Plasmas, Vol: 20, ISSN: 1089-7674

    Experiments to study the ablation dynamics of coiled wire arrays were performed on the MAGPIEgenerator (1 MA, 240 ns) at Imperial College, and on the COBRA generator at Cornell University’sLaboratory of Plasma Studies (1 MA, 100 ns). The MAGPIE generator was used to drive coiled wiresin an inverse array configuration to study the distribution of ablated plasma. Using interferometry tostudy the plasma distribution during the ablation phase, absolute quantitative measurements ofelectron line density demonstrated very high density contrasts between coiled ablation streams andinter-stream regions many millimetres from the wire. The measured density contrasts for a coiledarray were many times greater than that observed for a conventional array with straight wires,indicating that a much greater axial modulation of the ablated plasma may be responsible for theunique implosion dynamics of coiled arrays. Experiments on the COBRA generator were used tostudy the complex redirection of plasma around a coiled wire that gives rise to the ablation structureexhibited by coiled arrays. Observations of this complex 3D plasma structure were used to validatethe current model of coiled array ablation dynamics [Hall et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 065003(2008)], demonstrating irrefutably that plasma flow from the wires behaves as predicted. Coiled wireswere observed to ablate and implode in the same manner on both machines, indicating that currentrise time should not be an issue for the scaling of coiled arrays to larger machines with fast currentrise times.

    The effect of a radiation field on excitation and ionisation in non-LTE high energy density plasmas

    , Laser-Plasma Interactions and Applications, Pages: 79-89, ISBN: 9783319000374

    We look at the direct effect of an ambient radiation field on excitation and ionisation in a non-LTE high energy density plasma. The equations that determine the excitation and ionisation are presented together with a comparison between theory and experiment for a number of cases. In particular we look at so-called photo-ionised plasmas which are also of interest in astrophysics.
