Laboratory evidence for proton energization by collisionless shock surfing
W. Yao, A. Fazzini, S. N. Chen +19
Charged particles can be accelerated to high energies by collisionless shock waves in astrophysical environments, such as supernova remnants. By interacting with the magnetized amb…
Expansion of a radially symmetric blast shell into a uniformly magnetized plasma
M E Dieckmann, Q Moreno, D Doria +7
The expansion of a thermal pressure-driven radial blast shell into a dilute ambient plasma is examined with two-dimensional PIC simulations. The purpose is to determine if laminar…
Quasi-perpendicular fast magnetosonic shock with wave precursor in collisionless plasma
Q. Moreno, M. E. Dieckmann, X. Ribeyre +1
A one-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation tracks a fast magnetosonic shock over time scales comparable to an inverse ion gyrofrequency. The magnetic pressure is comparabl…
Impact of the electron to ion mass ratio on unstable systems in particle-in-cell simulations
Quentin Moreno, Mark Eric Dieckmann, Xavier Ribeyre +3
The evolution of the Buneman and two-stream instabilities driven by a cold dilute mildly relativistic electron beam is studied as a function of the ion\'\s charge-to-mass ratio. Th…
