Research Abstract

In order to validate the concept of a magnetic thrust chamber for laser fusion rockets, the interaction between laser-produced plasma and the magnetic field produced by a permanent magnet/coil is investigated. The behavior of the laser-produced plasma was observed by means of interferometer and ion velocity was measured by means of Thomson parabola spectrometer for the validation of numerical simulation using a three dimensional hybrid code. The obtained results suggest that the increase in the magnetic field strength/the coil size is required for the improvement of the thrust performance.
