Summary form only given. Solid state density matter can be heated to high temperatures by ultrafast energy deposition. Using 1018 W/cm2 laser pulses, volumes of the order of 105 I????m3 can in principle be heated to several hundred electronvolts for several picoseconds. This is achievable if the hot electrons generated by the intense laser can be confined laterally in the region of the laser focal...
Several experiments at the Nevada Terawatt Facility (NTF) study the interaction of laser-created plasmas with large external magnetic fields. Examples include a ldquosolar windrdquo experiment that studies the development of a shock when an ablation plasma flow interacts with a strong magnetic field, and an isochoric heating experiment, in which the effect of a confining external magnetic field on...
