| Description | Journal: Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion We have studied fast heating of highly compressed plasmas using multi 100 TW laser light. Efficient propagation of the ultra-intense laser light and heating of the imploded plasmas were realized with a cone-attached shell target. Energy deposition rate of the ultra-intense laser pulse into high-density plasmas was evaluated from neutron measurements. Generation and propagation property of energetic electrons in the ultra-intense laser interactions were also investigated with solid density targets. About 40% of the laser energy converted to mega electron volts energetic electrons in the interactions with solid targets at intensities of $10^{19}$ W $cm^{−2}$. These electrons propagated in the high-density plasmas with a divergence of 20–30° or jet-like collimation. Taking account of these experimental results, heating laser spot size is optimized for laser fusion ignition with a simple estimation. |
