Plasma wakes driven by Compton scattering: Non-linear regime and particle acceleration
Thomas Grismayer, Fabrizio Del Gaudio, Luís O. Silva
We investigate plasma wake generation via Compton scattering from photon bursts, a non-ponderomotive process relevant when the photon wavelength is smaller than the interparticle d…
Laboratory study of magnetic reconnection in lunar-relevant mini-magnetospheres
Lucas Rovige, Filipe D. Cruz, Robert S. Dorst +7
Mini-magnetospheres are small ion-scale structures that are well-suited to studying kinetic-scale physics of collisionless space plasmas. Such ion-scale magnetospheres can be found…
Slow down of a globally neutral relativistic beam shearing the vacuum
E. P. Alves, T. Grismayer, M. G. Silveirinha +2
The microphysics of relativistic collisionless sheared flows is investigated in a configuration consisting of a globally neutral, relativistic beam streaming through a hol…
Formation of Lunar Swirls
R. A. Bamford, E. P. Alves, F. Cruz +9
In this paper we show a plausible mechanism that could lead to the formation of the Dark Lanes in Lunar Swirls, and the electromagnetic shielding of the lunar surface that results…
Persistence of magnetic field driven by relativistic electrons in a plasma
A. Flacco, J. Vieira, A. Lifschitz +5
The onset and evolution of magnetic fields in laboratory and astrophysical plasmas is determined by several mechanisms, including instabilities, dynamo effects and ultra-high energ…
Mini-magnetospheres above the lunar surface and the formation of lunar swirls
R. A. Bamford, B. Kellett, W. J. Bradford +7
In this paper we present in-situ satellite data, theory and laboratory validation that show how small scale collisionless shocks and mini-magnetospheres can form on the electron in…
