PIC simulations of nonrelativistic high-Mach-number oblique shocks propagating in a turbulent medium

Karol Fulat, Eloise Moore, Mahmoud Alawashra +4

Collisionless shocks are common in astrophysical systems and stand as sites of particle acceleration. While particles at perpendicular shocks may not return to the upstream region,…

MeV cosmic-ray electrons modify the TeV pair-beam plasma instability

Mahmoud Alawashra, Yuanyuan Yang, Christopher M. Hirata +2

Relativistic pair beams created in the intergalactic medium (IGM) by TeV gamma rays from blazars are expected to produce a detectable GeV-scale electromagnetic cascade, but the cas…

Marginal Role of the Electrostatic Instability in the GeV-scale Cascade Flux from 1ES 0229+200

Mahmoud Alawashra, Ievgen Vovk, Martin Pohl

Relativistic pair beams produced in the intergalactic medium (IGM) by TeV gamma rays from blazars are expected to generate a detectable GeV-scale electromagnetic cascade, yet this…

Nonlinear feedback of the electrostatic instability on the blazar-induced pair beam and GeV cascade

Mahmoud Alawashra, Martin Pohl

Relativistic pair beams produced in the cosmic voids by TeV gamma rays from blazars are expected to produce a detectable GeV-scale cascade that is missing in the observations. The…

Suppression of the TeV pair-beam plasma instability by a tangled weak intergalactic magnetic field

Mahmoud Alawashra, Martin Pohl

We study the effect of a tangled sub-fG level intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF) on the electrostatic instability of a blazar-induced pair beam. Sufficiently strong IGMF may signi…
