Enhanced Stopping of Macro-Particles in Particle-in-Cell Simulations
Josh May, John Tonge, Warren B. Mori +4
We derive an equation for energy transfer from relativistic charged particles to a cold background plasma appropriate for finite-size particles that are used in particle-in-cell si…
Three-dimensional simulations of laser-plasma interactions at ultrahigh intensities
F. Fiuza, R. A. Fonseca, L. O. Silva +3
Three-dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations are used to investigate the interaction of ultrahigh intensity lasers ( W/cm) with matter at overcritica…
Efficient modeling of laser plasma interactions in high energy density scenarios
F. Fiuza, M. Marti, R. A. Fonseca +4
We describe how a new framework for coupling a full-PIC algorithm with a reduced PIC algorithm has been implemented into the code OSIRIS. We show that OSIRIS with this new hybrid-P…
Weibel-instability-mediated collisionless shocks in laboratory with ultraintense lasers
F. Fiuza, R. A. Fonseca, J. Tonge +2
The formation of non-relativistic collisionless shocks in laboratory with ultrahigh intensity lasers is studied via \emph{ab initio} multi-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations.…
One-to-one direct modeling of experiments and astrophysical scenarios: pushing the envelope on kinetic plasma simulations
R. A. Fonseca, S. F. Martins, L. O. Silva +3
There are many astrophysical and laboratory scenarios where kinetic effects play an important role. These range from astrophysical shocks and plasma shell collisions, to high inten…
A global simulation for laser driven MeV electrons in -diameter fast ignition targets
C. Ren, M. Tzoufras, J. Tonge +7
The results from 2.5-dimensional Particle-in-Cell simulations for the interaction of a picosecond-long ignition laser pulse with a plasma pellet of 50- diameter and 40 critical…
