摘要: We report on laser-driven, strong-shock generation and hot-electron production in planar targets the presence of a pre-plasma at shock-ignition (SI) relevant laser conditions. 2-D simulations reproduce shock dynamics well, indicating ablator shocks up to 75 Mbar have been generated. observe temperatures ∼70 keV intensities 1.4 × 1015 W/cm2 with multiple overlapping beams driving two-plasmon decay instability. When extrapolated SI-relevant ∼1016 W/cm2, hot electron temperature will likely exceed 100 keV, suggesting that tightly focused without overlap are better suited for launching ignitor shock.
