Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process that is thought to play a key role in the production of nonthermal particles associated with explosive phenomena in space physics and astrophysics. Experiments at high-energy-density…
We argue that the Maxwellian approximation can essentially underestimate the rates of some nuclear reactions in hot plasma under conditions very close to thermal equilibrium. This phenomenon is demonstrated explicitly on the example of…
The possibility of studying non-thermal electron energization in laser-driven plasma experiments of magnetic reconnection is studied using two- and three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. It is demonstrated that non-thermal…
In astronomical environments, the high-temperature emission of plasma mainly depends on ion charge states, which requires accurate analysis of the ionization and recombination processes. For various phenomena involving energetic particles,…
Magnetic reconnection is a leading mechanism for dissipating magnetic energy and accelerating nonthermal particles in Poynting-flux dominated flows. In this letter, we investigate nonthermal particle acceleration during magnetic…
The past decade has seen an outstanding development of nonthermal particle acceleration in magnetic reconnection in magnetically-dominated systems, with clear signatures of power-law energy distributions as a common outcome of…
Magnetic reconnection in relativistic collisionless plasmas can accelerate particles and power high-energy emission in various astrophysical systems. Whereas most previous studies focused on relativistic reconnection in pair plasmas, less…
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous astrophysical process that rapidly converts magnetic energy into some combination of plasma flow energy, thermal energy, and non-thermal energetic particles, including energetic electrons. Various…
It is very important to measure the plasma performances of fusion reactors such as fuel ion density, plasma temperature, fusion power, fast neutron energy, and neutron flux. Various diagnostic systems are needed to measure fast neutron…
Ultracold neutral plasmas, formed by photoionizing laser-cooled atoms near the ionization threshold, have electron temperatures in the 1-1000 kelvin range and ion temperatures from tens of millikelvin to a few kelvin. They represent a new…
The emission of multi-MeV ($\gamma$-ray) photons from the interaction of a high-powered laser pulse with a dense plasma target is studied using particle-in-cell simulations. A new set of diagnostic techniques is presented and applied to…
The ultrashort time-integrated diagnosis of ions plays a vital role in high energy density physics research. However, it is extremely challenging to measure in experiment. Here, we demonstrate a reliable approach for investigating the…
Recent inertial confinement fusion experiments have shown primary fusion spectral moments which are incompatible with a Maxwellian velocity distribution description. These results show that an ion kinetic description of the reacting ions is…
Thermodynamic characteristics of the radiation of condensed combustion products presented in the form of agglomerates of metal-oxide nanoparticles demonstrate deviations from the classical Planck's law. We propose to interpret these…
A non-perturbative method is introduced to measure the particle-particle interaction strengths and in-situ confinement for a vertically aligned dust particle pair in a complex plasma. The intrinsic thermal motion of each particle is…
The energy spectra of unscattered neutrons produced by deuterium-deuterium and deuterium-tritium fusion reactions are an important diagnostic in High Energy Density Physics experiments as the spectra are sensitive to the velocities of…
