Observations of Electromagnetic Fields and Plasma Flow in Hohlraums with Proton Radiography

We report on the first proton radiography of laser-irradiated hohlraums. This experiment, with vacuum gold (Au) hohlraums, resulted in observations of self-generated magnetic fields with peak values ~10[superscript 6]  G. Time-gated radiographs of monoenergetic protons with discrete energies (15.0 a...
