Slowdown of interpenetration of two counterpropagating plasma slab due to collective effects
N. Shukla, K. Schoeffler, J. Vieira +3
The nonlinear evolution of electromagnetic instabilities driven by the interpenetration of two plasma clouds is explored using {\it ab initio} kinetic plasma simulations…
Generating ultra-dense pair beams using 400 GeV/c protons
C. D. Arrowsmith, N. Shukla, N. Charitonidis +14
A previously unexplored experimental scheme is presented for generating low-divergence, ultra-dense, relativistic, electron-positron beams using 400 GeV/c protons available at faci…
Collisionless shock acceleration in the corona of an inertial confinement fusion pellet with possible application to ion fast ignition
E. Boella, R. Bingham, R. A. Cairns +6
Two-dimensional Particle-In-Cell simulations are used to explore collisionless shock acceleration in the corona plasma surrounding the compressed core of an inertial confinement fu…
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…
Conditions for the onset of the current filamentation instability in the laboratory
N. Shukla, J. Vieira, P. Muggli +3
Current Filamentation Instability (CFI) is capable of generating strong magnetic fields relevant to explain radiation processes in astrophysical objects and lead to the onset of pa…
Interaction between electrostatic collisionless shocks generates strong magnetic fields
E. Boella, K. Schoeffler, N. Shukla +3
The head-on collision between electrostatic shocks is studied via multi-dimensional Particle-In-Cell simulations. It is found that the shock velocities drop significantly and a str…
Interaction of Ultra Relativistic e- e+ Fireball Beam with Plasma
P. Muggli, S. F. Martins, N. Shukla +2
Ab initio simulations of the propagation in a plasma of a soon to be available relativistic electron-positron beam or fireball beam provide an effective mean for the study of micro…
Nonlinear electromagnetic wave equations for superdense magnetized plasmas
N. Shukla, G. Brodin, M. Marklund +2
By using the quantum hydrodynamic and Maxwell equations, we derive nonlinear electron-magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), Hall-MHD, and dust Hall-MHD equations for dense quantum magnetoplas…
