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 6 G. Time-gated radiographs of monoenergetic protons with discrete energies (15.0 and 3.3 MeV) reveal dynamic pictures of field structures and plasma flow. Near the end of the 1-ns laser drive, a stagnating Au plasma ($10 mg cm Ă3 ) forms at the center of the hohlraum. This is a consequence of supersonic, radially directed Au jets ($1000 m ns Ă1 , $Mach 4) that arise from the interaction of laser-driven plasma bubbles expanding into one another. A high-Z enclosure, i.e., hohlraum, creates an environment filled with a nearly blackbody (Planckian) radiation field when irradiated by high-power lasers or energetic ions [1,2]. The cavity generates intense thermal x rays at a radiation temperature (T r ) of hundreds of eV. Hohlraums have been extensively used as radiation sources or platforms for a wide range of basic and applied physics experiments. In studies of laboratory astrophysics and highenergy-density (HED) physics [3,4], for example, hohlraums are used for creating and simulating various extreme HED conditions, including those of stellar and planetary interiors. The hohlraum radiation field is used to compress spherical capsules, through capsule ablation, to high temperature and density in indirect-drive inertial confinement fusion [1,2].The use of hohlraums requires an understanding of physics details, such as coupling efficiency, plasma conditions, instabilities, radiation uniformity [1,2,5,6], and cavity shape [1,2,7,8]. Electric (E) and magnetic (B) fields generated by several processes may have important effects on hohlraum physics and overall performance [9]. B fields inside a hohlraum can reduce heat flow, since cross field thermal conductivity is modified by a factor of Ă°1 ĂŸ ! 2 ce 2 Ă Ă1 , where ! ce is the electron gyrofrequency and is the collision time [10,11]. E fields may modify the plasma conditions and, if sufficiently large, could enhance thick-target bremsstrahlung at x-ray energies well above the Planckian background.For low-intensity laser drive, such as used in most hohlraum experiments [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], the dominant source for B-field generation is expected to be nonparallel electron density (n e ) and temperature (T e ) gradients (rn e Ă rT e ) [10,11]. The E field is expected to result from electron pressure gradients (rP e ) [10,11]. Despite such expectations, prior to this work, no direct experimental measurement and characterization of such hohlraum fields have been made.The first observations of E and B fields and their evolution in hohlraums, made with time-gated monoenergetic proton radiography [12], are presented in this Letter. Coupled plasma flow dynamics were also observed. Simultaneous imaging with two discrete proton energies breaks any inherent degeneracy between E and B.In the radiography setup (Fig. 1) the backlighter is a D 3 He-filled, thin-glass-shell targe...
