Anisotropic Energetic Ion Emission from Explosionof Intense Laser Irradiated Argon Clusters in a Jet

The interaction of an intense femtosecond laser field (～ 10^16 W/cm^2) with argon clusters in a dense jet has been studied by measuring the energy and angle distributions of emitted ions. A directional anisotropy in the ion explosion energies is observed. The experimental results indicate that the average ion energies are up to 40% in the detection direction parallel to the laser polarization higher than that perpendicular to it. The measured ion yield increases about 80%, correspondingly. The findings are interpreted by charge-dependent ion acceleration and explosion of elliptic microplasma spheres.

MEASUREMENT OF IONIC ENERGY FROM FEMTOSECOND LASER-HEATED ARGON CLUSTERS

The high backing pressure argon gases adiabatically expand into vacuum through a pulsed gas jet to nucleate into large clusters. The clusters were heated by a 45fs, 2.3×10¹⁶ Wcm^-2 Ti: sapphire laser. The high energy of the ions produced in the cluster explosion was measured using time-of-flight spectrometry. The maximum and average kinetic energy of the ions were 0.2MeV and ～12.5keV, respectively, indicating that the femtosecond laser interactions with argon clusters are more energetic than interactions with atoms and molecules.     

High-intensity femtosecond laser absorption by rare-gas clusters

The energy absorption efficiency of high-intensity (～10^{16}W/cm^2) femtosecond laser pulses in a dense jet of large rare-gas clusters has been measured. Experimental results show that the energy absorption efficiency is strongly dependent on the cluster size and can be higher than 90%. The measurement of the ion energy indicates that the average ion energies of argon and xenon can be as high as 90 and 100keV, respectively. The dependence of the average energy of the ions on the cluster size is also measured. At comparatively low gas backing pressure, the average ion energies of argon and xenon increase with increasing gas backing pressure. The average ion energy of argon becomes saturated gradually with further increase of the gas backing pressure. For xenon, the average ion energy drops a little after the gas backing pressure exceeds 9 bar (3.2×10^5 atoms/cluster). The result showing the existence of a maximum average ion energy has been interpreted within the framework of the microplasma sphere model.     

Generation of Very Energetic Ions from Intense Femtosecond Laser Interactions with Rare Gas Clusters in a Dense Jet

Very energetic ions, which are detected by time-of-flight spectrometry with maximum energy up to 1.3 MeV and an average energy of 68keV, are generated in the explosion of large Xe clusters in a dense jet irradiated with a high-intensity (～10^16 W/cm2) 50fs laser pulse from a Ti:sapphire TW laser at 79Ohm wavelength. The interaction of intense laser pulses with a jet of argon clusters is also performed and high average ion energies are observed. The dependence of energy of the ions on the gas backing pressure is examined, suggesting that the results are consistent with the absorption efficiency of the laser energy by the cluster plasmas.     

Favourable scenarios established by SMBI for the realization of the ELMy H-mode at HL-2A

The ELMy H-mode plasmas realized with the supersonic molecular beam injection(SMBI) are studied in relation to the energy confinement and the heating power for the L–H transition(P_(L-H) ) in the HL-2A tokamak. A database is assembled for this study based on the ELMy H-mode discharges during the experimental campaigns in the period 2009–2013at the HL-2A tokamak. The statistical results show that the SMBI is favourable for reaching the H-mode by reducing the heating power at the L–H transition and for the H-mode performance by improving the energy confinement compared with the ordinary gas puffing(GP). The reduction of P_(L-H) is about 20% when the density is low, and the energy confinement enhancement factor of H_(H98y2)= τ_E/τ_(th,98y2) ≈ 1.5 is achieved with the SMBI. Note that in the database the density dependence of P_(L-H) is non-monotonic with the ˉne,min≈ 3×10~(19) m~(-3) at which the P_(L-H) is minimum. Most of P_(L-H) data are on the low density branch where the P_(L-H) increases with the decrease in density. The minimum of the P_(L-H) in HL-2A is comparable to the ITPA multi-machine threshold power scaling P_(thr■scal08). The physics behind the reduction of the P_(L-H) with the SMBI is also investigated in relation to the change of the density gradient at the plasma edge, the gas fuelling efficiency, and the recycling.     

Nuclear fusion from Coulomb explosions of deuterated methane clusters subjected to ultraintense femtosecond laser pulses

This paper reports that Coulomb explosions taken place in the experiment of heteronuclear deuterated methane clusters ((CD₄)₂) in a gas jet subjected to intense femtosecond laser pulses (170mJ, 70fs) have led to table-top laser driven DD nuclear fusion. The clusters produced in supersonic expansion had an average size of about 5nm in radius and the laser intensity used was 3×10¹⁷W/cm².The measured maximum and average energies of deuterons produced in the laser--cluster interaction were 60 and 13.5keV, respectively. From DD collisions of energetic deuterons, a yield of 2.5(±0.4)×10⁴ fusion neutrons of 2.45MeV per shot was realized, giving rise to a neutron production efficiency of about 1.5×10⁵ per joule of incident laser pulse energy. Theoretical calculations were performed and a fairly good agreement of the calculated neutron yield with that obtained from the present experiment was found.
