Collisionless shock acceleration in the corona of an inertial confinement fusion pellet with possible application to ion fast ignition
E. Boella, R. Bingham, R. A. Cairns +6
Two-dimensional Particle-In-Cell simulations are used to explore collisionless shock acceleration in the corona plasma surrounding the compressed core of an inertial confinement fu…
Collisionless heat flux regulation via electron firehose instability in presence of a core and suprathermal population in the expanding solar wind
Maria Elena Innocenti, Elisabetta Boella, Anna Tenerani +1
The evolution of the electron heat flux in the solar wind is regulated by the interplay between several effects: solar wind expansion, that can potentially drive velocity-space ins…
Interplay between the Weibel instability and the Biermann battery in realistic laser-solid interactions
N. Shukla, K. Schoeffler, E. Boella +3
A novel setup allows the Weibel instability and its interplay with the Biermann battery to be probed in laser-driven collisionless plasmas. Ab initio particle-in-cell (PIC) simulat…
Particle-In-Cell simulations of the parallel proton firehose instability influenced by the electron temperature anisotropy in solar wind conditions
A. Micera, E. Boella, A. N. Zhukov +4
In situ observations of the solar wind show a limited level of particle temperature anisotropy with respect to the interplanetary magnetic field direction. Kinetic electromagnetic…
Gridless particle technique for the Vlasov Poisson system in problems with high degree of symmetry
E. Boella, G. Coppa, A. D Angola +1
In the paper, gridless particle techniques are presented in order to solve problems involving electrostatic, collisionless plasmas. The method makes use of computational particles…
Acceleration of collimated 45 MeV protons by collisionless shocks driven in low-density, large-scale gradient plasmas by a 10^20 W/cm^2, 1 micron wavelength laser
P. Antici, E. Boella, S. N. Chen +17
A new type of proton acceleration stemming from large-scale gradients, low-density targets, irradiated by an intense near-infrared laser is observed. The produced protons are chara…
