Anisotropic heating and magnetic field generation due to Raman scattering in laser-plasma interactions
Thales Silva, Kevin Schoeffler, Jorge Vieira +3
We identify a mechanism for magnetic field generation in the interaction of intense electromagnetic waves and underdense plasmas. We show that Raman scattered plasma waves trap and…
High-order harmonic generation in an electron-positron-ion plasma
W. L. Zhang, T. Grismayer, K. M. Schoeffler +2
The laser interaction with an electron-positron-ion mixed plasma is studied, from the perspective of the associated high-order harmonic generation. For an idealized mixed plasma wh…
The effects of collisions on the generation and suppression of temperature anisotropies and the Weibel instability
K. M. Schoeffler, L. O. Silva
The expansion of plasma with non-parallel temperature and density gradients, and the generation of magnetic field via the Biermann battery is modeled using particle-in-cell simulat…
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…
Magnetized Current Filaments as a Source of Circularly Polarized Light
U. Sinha, J. Martins, J. Vieira +3
We show that the Weibel or currente filamentation instability can lead to the emission of circularly polarized radiation. Using particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations and a radiation p…
General kinetic solution for the Biermann battery with an associated pressure anisotropy generation
K. M. Schoeffler, L. O. Silva
Fully kinetic analytic calculations of an initially Maxwellian distribution with arbitrary density and temperature gradients exhibit the development of temperature anisotropies and…
