Prospects of High Energy Laboratory Astrophysics
Ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) have been observed but their sources and production mechanisms are yet to be understood. We envision a laboratory astrophysics program that will contribute to the understanding of cosmic accelerators with efforts to: 1) test and calibrate UHECR observational techniques, and 2) elucidate the underlying physics of cosmic acceleration through laboratory experi...
متن کاملHydrodynamic instabilities in astrophysics and in laboratory high-energy–density systems
High-energy–density systems and astrophysical systems both involve hydrodynamic effects, including sources of pressure, shock waves, rarefactions and plasma flows. In the evolution of such systems, hydrodynamic instabilities naturally evolve. As a result, a fundamental understanding of hydrodynamic instabilities is necessary to understand their behaviour. This paper discusses the validity of a ...
متن کاملHigh - energy Nd : glass laser facility for collisionless laboratory astrophysics
A kilojoule-class laser (Raptor) has recently been activated at the Phoenix-laserfacility at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) for an experimental program on laboratory astrophysics in conjunction with the Large Plasma Device (LAPD). The unique combination of a high-energy laser system and the 18 meter long, highly-magnetized but current-free plasma will support a new class of pla...

متن کاملHigh Energy Neutrino Astrophysics
I give a brief discussion of possible sources of high energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin over the energy range from ∼ 10 12 eV to ∼ 10 25 eV. In particular I shall review predictions of the diffuse neutrino intensity. Neutrinos from interactions of galactic cosmic rays with interstellar matter are guaranteed, and the intensity can be reliably predicted to within a factor of 2. Somewhat le...
