Physics of collisionless shocks - theory and simulation
A. Stockem Novo, A. Bret, R. A. Fonseca +1
Collisionless shocks occur in various fields of physics. In the context of space and astrophysics they have been investigated for many decades. However, a thorough understanding of…
Particles trajectories in magnetic filaments
Antoine Bret
The motion of a particle in a spatially harmonic magnetic field is a basic problem involved, for example, in the mechanism of formation of a collisionless shock. In such settings,…
Shock formation in electron-ion plasmas: mechanism and timing
Anne Stockem Novo, Antoine Bret, Ricardo A. Fonseca +1
We analyse the full shock formation process in electron-ion plasmas in theory and simulations. It is accepted that electromagnetic shocks in initially unmagnetised relativistic pla…
Collisional behaviors of astrophysical collisionless plasmas
Antoine Bret
In collisional fluids, a number of key processes rely on the frequency of binary collisions. Collisions seem necessary to generate a shock wave when two fluids collide fast enough,…
