Journal Article
Electron energization during merging of self-magnetized, high-beta, laser-produced plasmas
2021
Overview
Electron energization during merging of magnetized plasmas is studied using the OMEGA and OMEGA EP laser facilities by colliding two plasma plumes, each containing a Biermann-battery self-generated magnetic field. Two neighbouring plasma plumes are produced by intense laser beams, and the anti-parallel Biermann fields merge and reconnect in the process of the plumes’ expansion and collision. To isolate the merging as an acceleration source, the electron energy spectra obtained from two-plume collision shots are compared with the spectra from single-plume shots. Single-plume shots exhibit an energized electron tail with energies up to ${\\sim }250\\ \\textrm {keV}$ . The electrons in merging experiments are additionally accelerated by ${\\sim }50\\text {--}100$ keV compared to single-plume shots.
