Structure of Self-Generated Magnetic Fields in Laser-Solid Interaction from Proton Tomography

Self-generated magnetic fields in laser-solid interactions are experimentally characterized to reveal the 3D location and local field strength, rather than path-integrated quantities, using multi-view proton radiography and tomographic inversion. We infer magnetic fields that extend several millimeters off the target into the hot, rarefied corona, sufficient to strongly magnetize the plasma (Ω e τ e ≫ 1). The data are compared to MHD simulations incorporating recent improvements in modeling magnetic field generation and transport; the volume-averaged coronal field strength and magnetic flux agree to within 25% using a model with magnetic re-localization of transport, although the near-target morphology is not reproduced. This work demonstrates tomographic proton radiography as a valuable tool for investigating magnetic fields in laser-produced plasmas.

Studies of laser stimulated photodetachment from nanoparticles for particle charge measurements

Determining nanoparticle charge is more challenging than that for microparticles due to change in the particle size during the synthesis substantial plasma property variations, and difficulties in visualizing individual particles, rendering conventional microparticle charge diagnostics ineffective in dusty plasma. In this work, we utilized laser-stimulated photodetachment (LSPD) to deduce the mean charge of nanoparticles. Nanoparticles were grown in an Ar/C 2 H 2 mixture using a capacitively coupled RF discharge and the LSPD induced changes in the electron current monitored by a cylindrical Langmuir probe. LSPD signals were obtained and analyzed across different dust growth phases. The prolonged decay of electron current pulses was attributed to the presence of residual negative ions, caused by the effective electrostatic trapping of these ions and the potential post—LSPD re-formation of new ones. The particle charge was estimated by combining the laser-stimulated photodetachment signal from the probe with the dust density obtained from laser-light extinction using the measured nanoparticle size distribution. For a nanoparticles size range of approximately 100–250 nm and mean diameter of $d$ p ∼154.37 nm, the effective mean charge was estimated to be $\langle$$Q$$\rangle$ d $≈$ 37 elementary charge units. The measured charge values are lower than those predicted by orbital motion limited theory, which may be attributed to significant electron depletion in the nanodusty plasma. LSPD results in Ar/C 2 H 2 nano-dusty plasma confirm the applicability of this method for estimating individual nanoparticle charges. However, it has also been demonstrated that electron detachment from residual background negative ions can influence the detachment current decay and must be carefully considered.
