Radiative cooling effects on reverse shocks formed by magnetised supersonic plasma flows
S. Merlini, J. D. Hare, G. C. Burdiak +15
We study the structure of reverse shocks formed by the collision of supersonic, magnetised plasma flows driven by an inverse (or exploding) wire array with a planar conducting obst…
Anisotropic Electron Heating in an Electron Cyclotron Resonance Thruster with Magnetic Nozzle
Jean Porto, Paul-Quentin Elias, Andrea Ciardi
In a grid-less Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) plasma thruster with a diverging magnetic nozzle, the magnitude of the ambipolar field accelerating the positive ions depends of t…
Dynamics of nanosecond laser pulse propagation and of associated instabilities in a magnetized underdense plasma
W. Yao, A. Higginson, J. -R. Marquès +19
The propagation and energy coupling of intense laser beams in plasmas are critical issues in laser-driven inertial confinement fusion. Applying magnetic fields to such a setup has…
PHARE : Parallel hybrid particle-in-cell code with patch-based adaptive mesh refinement
Nicolas Aunai, Roch Smets, Andrea Ciardi +5
Modeling multi-scale collisionless magnetized processes constitutes an important numerical challenge. By treating electrons as a fluid and ions kinetically, the so-called hybrid Pa…
Investigating particle acceleration dynamics in interpenetrating magnetized collisionless super-critical shocks
W. Yao, A. Fazzini, S. N. Chen +9
Colliding collisionless shocks appear in a great variety of astrophysical phenomena and are thought to be possible sources of particle acceleration in the Universe. We have previou…
Particle energization in colliding subcritical collisionless shocks investigated in the laboratory
A. Fazzini, W. Yao, K. Burdonov +16
Colliding collisionless shocks appear in a great variety of astrophysical phenomena and are thought to be possible sources of particle acceleration in the Universe. To investigate…
