Detailed characterization of laboratory magnetized super-critical collisionless shock and of the associated proton energization
W. Yao, A. Fazzini, S. N. Chen +19
Collisionless shocks are ubiquitous in the Universe and are held responsible for the production of non-thermal particles and high-energy radiation. In the absence of particle colli…

Laboratory evidence for proton energization by collisionless shock surfing
W. Yao, A. Fazzini, S. N. Chen +19
Charged particles can be accelerated to high energies by collisionless shock waves in astrophysical environments, such as supernova remnants. By interacting with the magnetized amb…

Laboratory evidence of the halting of magnetic reconnection by a weak guide field
S. Bolanos, R. Smets, S. N. Chen +10
Magnetic reconnection occurs when two plasmas having co-planar but anti-parallel magnetic fields meet. At the contact point, the field is locally annihilated and the magnetic energ…
