However useful checks on performance can often be made for a limited range of parameters. For example, we show that our use of a keV line source, rather than the quasi-blackbody radiation fields normally employed in such experiments, has allowed the generation of the ratio of inner-shell to outer-shell photoionization expected from a blackbody source with ∼keV spectral temperature. We compare calculations from our in-house plasma modelling code with those from Cloudy and find moderately good agreement for the time evolution of both electron temperature and average ionisation. However, a comparison of code predictions for a K-β argon X-ray spectrum with experimental data reveals that our Cloudy simulation overestimates the intensities of more highly ionised argon species. This is not totally surprising as the Cloudy model was generated for a single set of plasma conditions, while the experimental data are spatially integrated.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49267,"journal":{"name":"High Energy Density Physics","volume":"51 ","pages":"Article 101097"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1574181824000223/pdfft?md5=b138969aa075d0b8934542eb20b5593b&pid=1-s2.0-S1574181824000223-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140302606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We model the experiments with 1D radiation hydrodynamics simulations using the HELIOS-CR code to inform our understanding and assist in the interpretation of results. The simulations predict that the bulk of the plasma is in a quasi-uniform and hydrodynamically unperturbed state throughout the duration of the experiment. To evaluate this prediction, we introduced a photonic Doppler velocimetry (PDV) diagnostic to measure spatially and temporally resolved plasma electron density. The initial measurements were successful but had limitations that made model-data comparisons challenging. To address this, we re-designed the gas cell PDV diagnostic and doubled the number of measurement locations to sample across two thirds of the depth of the cell. We also present a comparison of the results from the upgraded PDV diagnostic to the HELIOS-CR simulations for the first time. The experimental data confirms the prediction of an unperturbed region in the bulk of the plasma but reveals discrepancies in the time evolution and spatial distribution of the simulated electron density.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49267,"journal":{"name":"High Energy Density Physics","volume":"51 ","pages":"Article 101095"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140045352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ball lightning represents an extreme state of ionized matter in Nature. At the interaction of ball lightning with a dense medium a process of energy conversion of its own poloidal magnetic field into the kinetic energy of its charged particles occurs. The phenomenon of anomalous passage of a ball lightning within the standard model can be explained only by cascading generation of particles due to interaction of high-energy protons with an absorbing filter. The decay of pions leads either to the appearance of negative muons and muon antineutrino or positive muons and muon neutrino. This fact is confirmed by the absence of any particle imprints on the surface of this filter and the presence of a high potential of variable polarity in the region above the absorber after passing a ball lightning through it. This phenomenon of muons generation can be used to solve the problem of nuclear fusion.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49267,"journal":{"name":"High Energy Density Physics","volume":"51 ","pages":"Article 101085"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139922285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore it is necessary to find an appropriate theoretical model to express the thermal characteristics of electrons in warm dense Xe. In this study, we use the average atom-in-jellium(AJ) model to compute the contribution of thermally excited and pressure-ionized electrons of Xe over a wide range of temperatures and densities. The electron resonance state in the AJ model is treated by the adaptive mesh movement method. Moreover a method for correcting the cold pressure curve(which is used in the liquid phase calculations) in the AJ model is proposed. For the liquid phase, the ion motion contribution is expressed by the liquid perturbation theory of the corrected rigid-ion sphere model. For the solid phase, the ion motion contribution is described by the Debye model combined with anharmonic correction. Our calculated Hugoniot curve of Xe coincides with those of the experiments, first-principles density functional calculations and other theoretical models. The melting line of Xe is also consistent with the results of first-principle calculations and other theoretical models.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49267,"journal":{"name":"High Energy Density Physics","volume":"50 ","pages":"Article 101083"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139679443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study uses the NIF facility advantages to overcome the two main problems that have been identified in earlier works: the radiation pre-heat; and the considerable experimental uncertainties in respect to the physical phenomena. The new experiment will be able to measure the coupling between opacity and the heat wave progress and evolution, because the heat wave progress in a doped foam is expected to be very similar to the heat wave progress in the pure foam, when the latter’s absorption cross-section is simply scale by multiplying with a constant factor.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49267,"journal":{"name":"High Energy Density Physics","volume":"50 ","pages":"Article 101082"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139669731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
