High-power laser experiment on developing supercritical shock propagating in homogeneously magnetized plasma of ambient gas origin
arXiv:2207.12586 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.106.025205
Abstract
A developing supercritical collisionless shock propagating in a homogeneously magnetized plasma of ambient gas origin having higher uniformity than the previous experiments is formed by using high-power laser experiment. The ambient plasma is not contaminated by the plasma produced in the early time after the laser shot. While the observed developing shock does not have stationary downstream structure, it possesses some characteristics of a magnetized supercritical shock, which are supported by a one-dimensional full particle-in-cell simulation taking the effect of finite time of laser-target interaction into account.
