In my PhD project Plasma Kinetics in Magnetised Laser-Driven Plasmas, supervised by Prof. Nigel Woolsey and Dr. Chris Ridgers, I will be investigating the effect of magnetic fields on high-energy-density plasmas. This is motivated by current research that suggests magnetising the hot spot during inertial confinement fusion may help limit conduction losses, a key hurdle in achieving ignition during inertial confinement fusion. However, while the application of magnetic fields may help limit this effect it also introduces other physical effects (e.g. Nernst) that are not well understood. Performing reduced complexity experiments to investigate these effects will allow us to benchmark kinetic models of magnetised transport, which can be incorporated into magneto-hydrodynamic simulations. This research can be applied to a variety of problems in magnetised high-energy-density physics.

在我的博士项目磁化激光驱动等离子体中的等离子体动力学，由奈杰尔伍尔西教授和克里斯·里格斯博士指导，我将研究磁场对高能量密度等离子体的影响。目前的研究表明，在惯性约束聚变期间磁化热点可能有助于限制传导损耗，这是惯性约束聚变期间实现点火的关键障碍。然而，虽然磁场的应用可能有助于限制这种效应，但它也会引入其他物理效应（例如能斯特效应），这些效应尚未得到很好的理解。执行降低复杂性的实验，调查这些影响将使我们能够基准动力学模型的磁化运输，这可以纳入磁流体动力学模拟。这项研究可以应用于磁化高能量密度物理学中的各种问题。
