Energization of Proton via Beam-Driven Ion Bernstein Waves in p11B Plasmas
Yangchun Liu, Hairong Huang, Dong Wu +6
Energizing background ions plays a pivotal role in all forms of thermal nuclear fusion, as it can increase the fusion reaction rate without affecting the overall mechanical equilib…
Effect of flow-aligned external magnetic fields on mushroom instability
Y. Guo, D. Wu, J. Zhang
Mushroom instability (MI) is a shear instability considered responsible for generating and amplifying magnetic fields in relativistic jets. While astrophysical jets are usually mag…
From Filamentation to Stratification: Instability Dynamics in Scissors-Shaped Relativistic Beam-Plasma System
Xu Liu, Dong Wu, Jie Zhang
Counter-streaming systems are a canonical model for beam-plasma instabilities, such as the filamentation instability, which is critical in high energy density physics. However, sce…
Electron-scale Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in magnetized shear flows
Yao Guo, Dong Wu, Jie Zhang
Electron-scale Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities (ESKHI) are found in several astrophysical scenarios. Naturally ESKHI is subject to a background magnetic field, but an analytical dis…
