Three-dimensional structure and stability of discontinuities between unmagnetized pair plasma and magnetized electron-proton plasma
M E Dieckmann, D Folini, M Falk +3
We study with a 3D PIC simulation discontinuities between an electron-positron pair plasma and magnetized electrons and protons. A pair plasma is injected at one simulation boundar…

Collisionless Rayleigh-Taylor-like instability of the boundary between a hot pair plasma and an electron-proton plasma: the undular mode
M E Dieckmann, M Falk, D Folini +4
We study with a two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation the stability of a discontinuity or piston, which separates an electron-positron cloud from a cooler electron-proton pla…
