Conditions for the onset of the current filamentation instability in the laboratory

N. Shukla, J. Vieira, P. Muggli +3

Current Filamentation Instability (CFI) is capable of generating strong magnetic fields relevant to explain radiation processes in astrophysical objects and lead to the onset of pa…

Interaction between electrostatic collisionless shocks generates strong magnetic fields

E. Boella, K. Schoeffler, N. Shukla +3

The head-on collision between electrostatic shocks is studied via multi-dimensional Particle-In-Cell simulations. It is found that the shock velocities drop significantly and a str…

Ion acceleration in electrostatic collisionless shock: on the optimal density profile for quasi-monoenergetic beams

E. Boella, F. Fiúza, A. Stockem Novo +2

A numerical study on ion acceleration in electrostatic shock waves is presented, with the aim of determining the best plasma configuration to achieve quasi-monoenergetic ion beams…

AWAKE readiness for the study of the seeded self-modulation of a 400\,GeV proton bunch

P. Muggli, E. Adli, R. Apsimon +104

AWAKE is a proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration experiment. % We show that the experimental setup briefly described here is ready for systematic study of the seeded self-mod…

Mitigation of the hose instability in plasma-wakefield accelerators

T. J. Mehrling, R. A. Fonseca, A. Martinez de la Ossa +1

Current models predict the hose instability to crucially limit the applicability of plasma-wakefield accelerators. By developing an analytical model which incorporates the evolutio…

Formation of collisionless shocks in magnetized plasma interaction with kinetic-scale obstacles

F. Cruz, E. P. Alves, R. A. Bamford +3

We investigate the formation of collisionless magnetized shocks triggered by the interaction between magnetized plasma flows and miniature-sized (order of plasma kinetic-scales) ma…
