Preferential acceleration of positrons by a filamentation instability between an electron-proton beam and a pair plasma beam
M E Dieckmann, S J Spencer, M Falk +1
Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of collisionless jets of electrons and positrons in an ambient electron-proton plasma have revealed an acceleration of positrons at the expense o…
