Experimental observations of microturbulence-suppressed parallel heat conduction in a weakly collisional, high-\b{eta} plasma

T. A. Vincent, P. Ariyathilaka, L. Creaser +16

Classical theories of heat conduction in magnetized plasma predict that thermal transport, mediated by Coulomb collisions of electrons, occurs predominantly along magnetic field li…

Design of experiments characterising heat conduction in magnetised, weakly collisional plasma

T. A. Vincent, P. Ariyathilaka, L. Creaser +15

Heat conduction in weakly collisional, magnetised plasma is challenging to model accurately due to multifaceted physics governing heat-carrying electrons, including microinstabilit…

Strong suppression of heat conduction in a laboratory replica of galaxy-cluster turbulent plasmas

J. Meinecke, P. Tzeferacos, J. S. Ross +32

Galaxy clusters are filled with hot, diffuse X-ray emitting plasma, with a stochastically tangled magnetic field whose energy is close to equipartition with the energy of the turbu…

Time-resolved fast turbulent dynamo in a laser plasma

A. F. A. Bott, P. Tzeferacos, L. Chen +25

Understanding magnetic-field generation and amplification in turbulent plasma is essential to account for observations of magnetic fields in the universe. A theoretical framework a…

Transport of high-energy charged particles through spatially-intermittent turbulent magnetic fields

L. E. Chen, A. F. A. Bott, P. Tzeferacos +22

Identifying the sources of the highest energy cosmic rays requires understanding how they are deflected by the stochastic, spatially intermittent intergalactic magnetic field. Here…

Laboratory evidence of dynamo amplification of magnetic fields in a turbulent plasma

P. Tzeferacos, A. Rigby, A. Bott +27

Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the Universe. Extragalactic disks, halos and clusters have consistently been shown, via diffuse radio-synchrotron emission and Faraday rotation me…

Numerical modeling of laser-driven experiments aiming to demonstrate magnetic field amplification via turbulent dynamo

P. Tzeferacos, A. Rigby, A. Bott +29

The universe is permeated by magnetic fields, with strengths ranging from a femtogauss in the voids between the filaments of galaxy clusters to several teragauss in black holes and…

Observation of magnetic field generation via the Weibel instability in interpenetrating plasma flows

C. M. Huntington, F. Fiuza, J. S. Ross +18

Collisionless shocks can be produced as a result of strong magnetic fields in a plasma flow, and therefore are common in many astrophysical systems. The Weibel instability is one c…
