Fast collisional electron heating and relaxation in thin foils driven by a circularly polarized ultraintense short-pulse laser
Andréas Sundström, Laurent Gremillet, Evangelos Siminos +1
The creation of well-thermalized, hot and dense plasmas is attractive for warm dense matter studies. We investigate collisionally induced energy absorption of an ultraintense and u…
Probing Ultrafast Magnetic-Field Generation by Current Filamentation Instability in Femtosecond Relativistic Laser-Matter Interactions
G. Raj, O. Kononenko, A. Doche +28
We present experimental measurements of the femtosecond time-scale generation of strong magnetic-field fluctuations during the interaction of ultrashort, moderately relativistic la…
Physics of relativistic collisionless shocks: III The suprathermal particles
Martin Lemoine, Guy Pelletier, Arno Vanthieghem +1
In this third paper of a series, we discuss the physics of the population of accelerated particles in the precursor of an unmagnetized, relativistic collisionless pair shock. In pa…
Physics of relativistic collisionless shocks: II Dynamics of the background plasma
M. Lemoine, A. Vanthieghem, G. Pelletier +1
In this second paper of a series, we discuss the dynamics of a plasma entering the precursor of an unmagnetized, relativistic collisionless pair shock. We discuss how this backgrou…
Physics of relativistic collisionless shocks: The scattering center frame
G. Pelletier, L. Gremillet, A. Vanthieghem +1
In this first paper of a series dedicated to the microphysics of unmagnetized, relativistic collisionless pair shocks, we discuss the physics of the Weibel-type transverse current…
Physics of Weibel-mediated relativistic collisionless shocks
M. Lemoine, L. Gremillet, G. Pelletier +1
We develop a comprehensive theoretical model of relativistic collisionless pair shocks mediated by the current filamentation instability. We notably characterize the noninertial fr…
