New Class of Laboratory Astrophysics Experiments: Application to Radiative Accretion Processes around Neutron Stars

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2022
Extreme radiative phenomena, where the radiation energy density and flux strongly influence the medium, are common in the universe. Nevertheless, because of limited or nonexistent observational and experimental data, the validity of theoretical and ...

Studies of high energy density physics and laboratory astrophysics driven by intense lasers

open access: yes, 2016
Laser plasmas are capable of creating unique physical conditions with extreme high energy density, which are not only closely relevant to inertial fusion energy studies, but also to laboratory simulation of some astrophysical processes. In this paper, we

Observation of collapsing radiative shocks in laboratory experiments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This article reports the observation of the dense, collapsed layer produced by a radiative shock in a laboratory experiment. The experiment uses laser irradiation to accelerate a thin layer of solid-density material to above 100 km/s100km∕s, the first to

General relativity and relativistic astrophysics

open access: yes, 2016
Einstein established the theory of general relativity and the corresponding field equation in 1915 and its vacuum solutions were obtained by Schwarzschild and Kerr for, respectively, static and rotating black holes, in 1916 and 1963, respectively.

Proton Acceleration with Relativistic Electromagnetic Shock

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
New Ion Acceleration Mechanism! A novel cosmic‐ray proton acceleration mechanism is proposed, where relativistic electromagnetic shocks accelerate protons transversely. Hamiltonian analysis yields a scaling law linking the proton energy to the minimum longitudinal thickness of the shock.

Artificial Intelligence‐Assisted Target Design for High‐Intensity Laser‐Driven Neutron Sources

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents an artificial intelligence (AI)‐assisted target design that combines particle‐in‐cell simulations with gradient ascent algorithm to optimize laser‐driven neutron sources. By enhancing the sheath electric field, the optimized structure increases neutron yield by a factor of 4,000.
