Hybrid-VPIC: an Open-Source Kinetic/Fluid Hybrid Particle-in-Cell Code
Ari Le, Adam Stanier, Lin Yin +3
Hybrid-VPIC is an extension of the open-source high-performance particle-in-cell (PIC) code VPIC incorporating hybrid kinetic ion/fluid electron solvers. This paper describes the m…
Experimental Measurements of Ion Diffusion Coefficients and Heating in a Multi-Ion-Species Plasma Shock
F. Chu, A. L. LaJoie, B. D. Keenan +3
Collisional plasma shocks generated from supersonic flows are an important feature in many astrophysical and laboratory high-energy-density plasmas. Compared to single-ion-species…
Hybrid Paricle-in-Cell Simulations of Electromagnetic Coupling and Waves From Streaming Burst Debris
Brett D. Keenan, Ari Le, Dan Winske +4
Various systems can be modeled as a point-like explosion of ionized debris into a magnetized, collisionless background plasma -- including astrophysical examples, active experiment…
First measurement of the reaction in an inertial confinement fusion implosion at the National Ignition Facility: Initial steps toward the development of a radiochemistry mix diagnostic
D. Lonardoni, J. P. Sauppe, S. H. Batha +17
We report the first measurement of the reaction in a polar-direct-drive exploding pusher (PDXP) at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). This work i…
Fully kinetic simulations of strong steady-state collisional planar plasma shocks
Steven E. Anderson, Luis Chacón, William T. Taitano +2
We report on the first steady-state simulations of strong plasma shocks with fully kinetic ions and electrons, independently confirmed by two fully kinetic codes (an Eulerian conti…
Ion Species Stratification Within Strong Shocks in Two-Ion Plasmas
Brett D. Keenan, Andrei N. Simakov, William T. Taitano +1
Strong collisional shocks in multi-ion plasmas are featured in many environments, with Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) experiments being one prominent example. Recent work [Keena…
Deciphering the Kinetic Structure of Multi-Ion Plasma Shocks
Brett D. Keenan, Andrei N. Simakov, Luis Chacon +1
Strong collisional shocks in multi-ion plasmas are featured in many high-energy-density environments, including Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) implosions. However, their basic s…
Electron-Positron Cascade in Magnetospheres of Spinning Black Holes
Alexander L. Ford, Brett D. Keenan, Mikhail V. Medvedev
We quantitatively study the stationary, axisymmetric, force-free magnetospheres of spinning (Kerr) black holes (BHs) and the conditions needed for relativistic jets to be powered b…
On the Quasicollisionality of Plasmas with Small-Scale Electric Turbulence
Brett D. Keenan, Mikhail V. Medvedev
Chaotic electromagnetic fields are common in many relativistic plasma environments, where they can be excited by instabilities on kinetic spatial scales. When strong electric fluct…
Diffusion and Radiation in Magnetized Collisionless Plasmas with High-Frequency Small-Scale Turbulence
Brett D. Keenan, Mikhail V. Medvedev
Magnetized high-energy-density plasmas can often have strong electromagnetic fluctuations whose correlation scale is smaller than the electron Larmor radius. Radiation from the ele…
