Strong collisionless coupling between an unmagnetized driver plasma and a magnetized background plasma
Filipe D. Cruz, Derek. B. Schaeffer, Fábio Cruz +1
Fast-exploding plasmas traveling though magnetized, collisionless plasmas can occur in a variety of physical systems, such as supernova remnants, coronal mass ejections, and laser-…
Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence Mapping of a Carbon Laser Produced Plasma
R. S. Dorst, C. G. Constantin, D. B. Schaeffer +2
We present measurements of ion velocity distribution profiles obtained by laser induced fluorescence (LIF) on an explosive laser produced plasma (LPP). The spatio-temporal evolutio…
A novel kinetic mechanism for the onset of fast magnetic reconnection and plasmoid instabilities in collisionless plasmas
W. Fox, G. Fiksel, D. B. Schaeffer +9
Magnetic reconnection can explosively release magnetic energy when opposing magnetic fields merge and annihilate through a current sheet, driving plasma jets and accelerating non-t…
