Formulation of a one-dimensional electrostatic plasma model for testing the validity of kinetic theory
Francesco Pegoraro, Philip J. Morrison, Davide Manzini +1
We present a one-dimensional (1-D) model composed of aligned, electrostatically interacting charged disks, conceived in order to address in a computable model the validity of the B…
Pressure anisotropy and small spatial scales induced by velocity shear
Daniele Del Sarto, Francesco Pegoraro, Francesco Califano
Non-Maxwellian metaequilibria can exist in low-collisionality plasmas as evidenced by satellite and laboratory measurements. By including the full pressure tensor dynamics in a flu…
Dynamics of self-generated, large amplitude magnetic fields following high-intensity laser matter interaction
G. Sarri, A. Macchi, C. A. Cecchetti +15
The dynamics of magnetic fields with amplitude of several tens of Megagauss, generated at both sides of a solid target irradiated with a high intensity (? 1019W/cm2) picosecond las…
Undamped electrostatic plasma waves
F. Valentini, D. Perrone, F. Califano +4
Electrostatic waves in a collision-free unmagnetized plasma of electrons with fixed ions are investigated for electron equilibrium velocity distribution functions that deviate slig…
On the transition between the Weibel and the whistler instabilities
L. Palodhi, F. Califano, F. Pegoraro
The transition between non resonant (Weibel-type) and resonant (whistler) instabilities is investigated numerically in plasma configurations with an ambient magnetic field of incre…
Nonlinear Kinetic Development of the Weibel Instability and the generation of electrostatic coherent structures
L. Palodhi, F. Califano, F. Pegoraro
The nonlinear evolution of the Weibel instability driven by the anisotropy of the electron distribution function in a collisionless plasma is investigated in a spatially one-dimens…
Nonlinear Kinetic Dynamics of Magnetized Weibel Instability
L. Palodhi, F. Califano, F. Pegoraro
Kinetic numerical simulations of the evolution of the Weibel instability during the full nonlinear regime are presented. The formation of strong distortions in the electron distrib…
