Double-Adiabatic Equations of State for Relativistic Plasmas
Agnieszka Wierzchucka, Pablo J. Bilbao, Alexander G. R. Thomas +2
The adiabatic equation of state describes the pressure evolution of highly collisional, isotropic plasmas in terms of their density, providing a possible closure of…
A Deterministic Ionization Algorithm for the OSIRIS Particle-in-Cell Framework
Stephen DiIorio, Ricardo Fonseca, Frank Tsung +2
Ionization is critical in the formation and evolution of plasma dynamics; collisional ionization, in particular, is an often overlooked source of electrons when dealing with laser-…
Pair-loaded electron-only magnetic reconnection using laser-driven capacitor coils
Brandon K. Russell, Qian Qian, Rebecca Fitzgarrald +12
We propose and simulate a laboratory platform to study the effects of positrons in magnetic reconnection using laser-driven capacitor coils. Using particle-in-cell simulations, we…
