Many theoretical studies have shown that high-energy cosmic rays originate when charged particles on the wave fronts of shock waves, such as those from supernova remnants, active galactic nuclei, and solar flares, are accelerated to relativistic energies. However, this has not been experimentally verified. In the LAE group, we conduct experimental studies of shock waves generated by high-power lasers with the goal of elucidating the structure of shock waves, the physics of particle acceleration, and the mechanism of magnetic field generation.<\/p>\n
We also perform heating experiments for fast-ignition fusion research.<\/p>\n
