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…
One-to-one full scale simulations of laser wakefield acceleration using QuickPIC
J. Vieira, F. Fiuza, R. A. Fonseca +9
We use the quasi-static particle-in-cell code QuickPIC to perform full-scale, one-to-one LWFA numerical experiments, with parameters that closely follow current experimental condit…
Three-dimensional structure of the laser wakefield accelerator in the blowout regime
J. F. Vieira, S. F. Martins, F. Fiuza +9
Three-dimensional Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations with the code QuickPIC are used to illustrate the typical accelerating structures associated with the interaction of an intense…
Interpenetrating plasma shells: near-equipartition magnetic field generation and non-thermal particle acceleration
L. O. Silva, R. A. Fonseca, J. Tonge +3
We present the first three-dimensional fully kinetic electromagnetic relativistic particle-in-cell simulations of the collision of two interpenetrating plasma shells. The highly ac…
