Experimental observations of microturbulence-suppressed parallel heat conduction in a weakly collisional, high-\b{eta} plasma

T. A. Vincent, P. Ariyathilaka, L. Creaser +16

Classical theories of heat conduction in magnetized plasma predict that thermal transport, mediated by Coulomb collisions of electrons, occurs predominantly along magnetic field li…

Laboratory observation of collective beam-plasma instabilities in a relativistic pair jet

J W D Halliday, C D Arrowsmith, A M Goillot +37

We report on a measurement of collective behavior in a relativistic electron-positron pair plasma produced in the laboratory. Using the Fireball platform at CERN's HiRadMat facilit…

Design of experiments characterising heat conduction in magnetised, weakly collisional plasma

T. A. Vincent, P. Ariyathilaka, L. Creaser +15

Heat conduction in weakly collisional, magnetised plasma is challenging to model accurately due to multifaceted physics governing heat-carrying electrons, including microinstabilit…

Suppression of pair beam instabilities in a laboratory analogue of blazar pair cascades

Charles D. Arrowsmith, Francesco Miniati, Pablo J. Bilbao +28

The generation of dense electron-positron pair beams in the laboratory can enable direct tests of theoretical models of -ray bursts and active galactic nuclei. We have successfu…

Laboratory realization of relativistic pair-plasma beams

C. D. Arrowsmith, P. Simon, P. Bilbao +26

Relativistic electron-positron plasmas are ubiquitous in extreme astrophysical environments such as black holes and neutron star magnetospheres, where accretion-powered jets and pu…
