Target Design for XUV Probing of Radiative Shock Experiments
U. Chaulagain, C. Stehlé, P. Barroso +4
Radiative shocks are strong shocks characterized by plasma at a high temperature emitting an important fraction of its energy as radiation. Radiative shocks are commonly found in m…
In situ evidence of ion acceleration between consecutive reconnection jet fronts
Filomena Catapano, Alessandro Retino, Gaetano Zimbardo +21
Processes driven by unsteady reconnection can efficiently accelerate particles in many astrophysical plasmas. An example are the reconnection jet fronts in an outflow region. We pr…
The Dynamics of a High Mach Number Quasi-Perpendicular Shock: MMS Observations
H. Madanian, M. I. Desai, S. J. Schwartz +12
Shock parameters at Earth's bow shock in rare instances can approach the Mach numbers predicted at supernova remnants. We present our analysis of a high Alfvén Mach number ($M_A= 2…
Enhanced Tuneable Rotatory Power in a Rotating Plasma
R. Gueroult, J. -M. Rax, N. J. Fisch
The gyrotropic properties of a rotating magnetized plasma are derived analytically. Mechanical rotation leads to a new cutoff for wave propagation along the magnetic field and pola…
Collisionless ion modeling in Hall thrusters: analytical axial velocity distribution function and heat flux closures
Stefano Boccelli, Thomas Charoi, Alejandro Alvarez-Laguna +3
The genesis of the ion axial velocity distribution function (VDF) is analyzed for collisionless Hall thruster discharges. An analytical form for the VDF is obtained from the Vlasov…
Relativistic acceleration of electrons injected by a plasma mirror into a radially polarized laser beam
N. Zaïm, M. Thévenet, A. Lifschitz +1
We propose a method to generate femtosecond, relativistic and high-charge electron bunches using few-cycle and tightly focused radially polarized laser pulses. In this scheme, the…
