One-to-one direct modeling of experiments and astrophysical scenarios: pushing the envelope on kinetic plasma simulations
R. A. Fonseca, S. F. Martins, L. O. Silva +3
There are many astrophysical and laboratory scenarios where kinetic effects play an important role. These range from astrophysical shocks and plasma shell collisions, to high inten…
Expansion of nanoplasmas and laser-driven nuclear fusion in single exploding clusters
F. Peano, J. L. Martins, R. A. Fonseca +6
The expansion of laser-irradiated clusters or nanodroplets depends strongly on the amount of energy delivered to the electrons and can be controlled by using appropriately shaped l…
Direct Acceleration of Ions With Variable-frequency Lasers
F. Peano, J. Vieira, R. A. Fonseca +3
A method is proposed for producing monoergetic, high-quality ion beams in vacuum, via direct acceleration by the electromagnetic field of two counterpropagating, variable-frequency…
Expansion of a plasma cloud into the solar wind
L. Gargaté, R. A. Fonseca, R. Bingham +1
Three-dimensional (3D) hybrid particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, with kinetic ions and fluid electrons, of a plasma cloud expansion in the solar wind are presented, revealing the…
