Modeling solar chromospheric spicules with intense lasers

Frontiers in Physics, 2023
Solar spicules are small-scale jet-like structures in the lower solar atmosphere. Currently, the formation of these widely distributed structures lacks a complete explanation.

Laboratory for Underground Nuclear Astrophysics [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
Nuclear reactions shape the life and death of stars and they produce most of the chemical elements in the Universe. The cross section, at the energy of the Gamow peak, is a crucial ingredient to improve our knowledge on stellar and Universe chemical ...

Einstein beams and the diffractive aspect of gravitationally-lensed light

New Journal of Physics, 2023
The study of light lensed by cosmic matter has yielded much information about astrophysical questions. Observations are explained using geometrical optics following a ray-based description of light.

Toward Astrophysical Turbulence in the Laboratory

Physical Review Letters, 2012
Turbulence is a ubiquitous phenomenon in space and astrophysical plasmas, driving a cascade of energy from large to small scales and strongly influencing the plasma heating resulting from the dissipation of the turbulence. Modern theories of plasma turbulence are based on the fundamental concept that the turbulent cascade of energy is caused by the ...

Felsenkeller shallow-underground accelerator laboratory for nuclear astrophysics

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
Favored by the low background in underground laboratories, low-background accelerator-based experiments are an important tool to study nuclear reactions involving stable charged particles. This technique has been used for many years with great success at

Formation of dense, electromagnetically accelerated plasma for laboratory astrophysics

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
We proposed tapered pinch discharge as a measure to conduct laboratory astrophysics experiments. Basic behaviors of the plasma have been characterized using a prototype device. Results show that the plasma flux and velocity depend on initial gas density,
