Insensitivity of a turbulent laser-plasma dynamo to initial conditions

A. F. A. Bott, L. Chen, P. Tzeferacos +18

It has recently been demonstrated experimentally that a turbulent plasma created by the collision of two inhomogeneous, asymmetric, weakly magnetised laser-produced plasma jets can…

Echoes of the past: ultra-high energy cosmic rays accelerated by radio galaxies, scattered by starburst galaxies

Anthony Bell, James Matthews

We explore the possibility that the hotspot of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECR) detected by the Telescope Array (TA) from the approximate direction of M82 and the M81 group of…

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…

Instability in a magnetised collisional plasma driven by a heat flow or a current

Anthony Bell, Robert Kingham, Henry Watkins +1

We solve the linearised Vlasov-Fokker-Planck (VFP) equation to show that heat flow or an electrical current in a magnetized collisional plasma is unstable to the growth of a circul…

Particle acceleration in astrophysical jets

James Matthews, Anthony Bell, Katherine Blundell

In this chapter, we review some features of particle acceleration in astrophysical jets. We begin by describing four observational results relating to the topic, with particular em…

Cosmic ray acceleration to ultrahigh energy in radio galaxies

James H. Matthews, Anthony R. Bell, Anabella T. Araudo +1

The origin of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) is an open question. In this proceeding, we first review the general physical requirements that a source must meet for accelerat…
