Electrostatic and magnetic instabilities in the transition layer of a collisionless weakly relativistic pair shock
M E Dieckmann, A Bret
Energetic electromagnetic emissions by astrophysical jets like those that are launched during the collapse of a massive star and trigger gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are partially attri…

Simulation study of the formation of a non-relativistic pair shock
Mark Eric Dieckmann, Antoine Bret
We examine with a particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation the collision of two equally dense clouds of cold pair plasma. The clouds interpenetrate until instabilities set in, which heat…
