Efficient ion re-acceleration in laboratory-produced interpenetrating collisionless shocks
W. Yao, I. Cohen, P. Suarez Gerona +20
Although the origin of cosmic rays (CRs) remains an open question, collisionless magnetized shock waves are widely regarded as key sites for particle acceleration. Recent theories…

Laboratory evidence of electron pressure anisotropy driving plasmoid mediated magnetic reconnection
A. Sladkov, T. Waltenspiel, H. Ahmed +8
Plasmoid-driven magnetic reconnection in elongated current sheets is suspected to be an ubiquitous phenomenon in space and astrophysical plasmas, but the mechanisms driving its ons…

Investigation of Laser Plasma Instabilities driven by Coupled High-Power Laser Beams in Magnetized Underdense Plasmas
C. L. C. Lacoste, D. Oportus, J. Béard +10
Stimulated Brillouin and Raman scattering (SBS and SRS) are instabilities that affect the propagation of high-power lasers in plasmas. The latter is further affected by Cross-Talk…
