Anisotropic heating and magnetic field generation due to Raman scattering in laser-plasma interactions
Thales Silva, Kevin Schoeffler, Jorge Vieira +3
We identify a mechanism for magnetic field generation in the interaction of intense electromagnetic waves and underdense plasmas. We show that Raman scattered plasma waves trap and…
Nonthermal electron and ion acceleration by magnetic reconnection in large laser-driven plasmas
Samuel Totorica, Masahiro Hoshino, Tom Abel +1
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process that is thought to play a key role in the production of nonthermal particles associated with explosive phenomena in space phys…
Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena throughout the Universe
H. Ji, A. Alt, S. Antiochos +97
This white paper summarizes major scientific challenges and opportunities in understanding magnetic reconnection and related explosive phenomena as a fundamental plasma process.
A new framework for magnetohydrodynamic simulations with anisotropic pressure
Kota Hirabayashi, Masahiro Hoshino, Takanobu Amano
We describe a new theoretical and numerical framework of the magnetohydrodynamic simulation incorporated with an anisotropic pressure tensor, which can play an important role in a…
First-principles simulations of electrostatic interactions between dust grains
Hotaka Itou, Takanobu Amano, Masahiro Hoshino
We investigated the electrostatic interaction between two identical dust grains of an infinite mass immersed in homogeneous plasma by employing first-principles N-body simulations…
Transport enhancement and suppression in turbulent magnetic reconnection: A self-consistent turbulence model
Nobumitsu Yokoi, Katsuaki Higashimori, Masahiro Hoshino
Through the enhancement of transport, turbulence is expected to contribute to the fast reconnection. However the effects of turbulence are not so straightforward. In addition to th…
