The electron cyclotron maser instability in laser-ionized plasmas
Thales Silva, Pablo J. Bilbao, Luis O. Silva
We show that circularly polarized lasers create plasmas with long-lasting ring-shaped weakly relativistic momentum distributions which, in the presence of an ambient magnetic field…

Radiative cooling induced coherent maser emission in relativistic plasmas
Pablo J. Bilbao, Thales Silva, Luis O. Silva
Relativistic plasmas in strong electromagnetic fields exhibit distinct properties compared to classical plasmas. In astrophysical environments, such as neutron stars, white dwarfs,…

Relaxation to universal non-Maxwellian equilibria in a collisionless plasma
Robert J. Ewart, Michael L. Nastac, Pablo J. Bilbao +3
Generic equilibria are derived for turbulent relaxing plasmas via an entropy-maximization procedure that accounts for the short-time conservation of certain collisionless invariant…
