The generation of magnetic fields by the Biermann battery and the interplay with the Weibel instability
K. M. Schoeffler, N. F. Loureiro, R. A. Fonseca +1
An investigation of magnetic fields generated in an expanding bubble of plasma with misaligned temperature and density gradients (driving the Biermann battery mechanism) is perform…
Path to AWAKE: Evolution of the concept
A. Caldwell, E. Adli, L. Amorim +118
This report describes the conceptual steps in reaching the design of the AWAKE experiment currently under construction at CERN. We start with an introduction to plasma wakefield ac…
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…
Modelling radiation emission in the transition from the classical to the quantum regime
J. L. Martins, M. Vranic, T. Grismayer +3
An emissivity formula is derived using the generalised Fermi-Weizacker-Williams method of virtual photons which accounts for the recoil the charged particle experiences as it emits…
Spatial-temporal evolution of the current filamentation instability
V. B. Pathak, T. Grismayer, A. Stockem +2
The spatial-temporal evolution of the purely transverse current filamentation instability is analyzed by deriving a single partial differential equation for the instability and obt…
