摘要: Abstract Recent experiments at the Jupiter Laser Facility investigated magnetization effects on collimated plasma jets. Laser-irradiated plastic-cone-targets produced collimated, millimeter-scale flows as indicated by optical interferometry. Proton radiography of these jets showed no indication strong, self-generated magnetic fields, suggesting a dominantly hydrodynamic collimating mechanism. Targets were placed in custom-designed solenoid capable generating field strengths up to 5 T. radiographs well-characterized B-field, without jet, suggested an external source trapped electrons that affects proton trajectories. The background was aligned with jet propagation direction, is case many astrophysical systems. Optical interferometry results disruption flow and instead produces hollow cavity. This result topic ongoing investigation.
