Ion dynamics and coherent structure formation following laser pulse self-channeling
Andrea Macchi, Alessandra Bigongiari, Francesco Ceccherini +5
The propagation of a superintense laser pulse in an underdense, inhomogeneous plasma has been studied numerically by two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations on a time scale ex…
Slow evolution of elliptical galaxies induced by dynamical friction
S. E. Arena, G. Bertin, T. Liseikina +1
Many astrophysical problems, ranging from structure formation in cosmology to dynamics of elliptical galaxies, refer to slow processes of evolution of essentially collisionless sel…
Slow evolution of elliptical galaxies induced by dynamical friction. I. Capture of a system of satellites
G. Bertin, T. Liseikina, F. Pegoraro
The main goal of this paper is to set up a numerical laboratory for the study of the slow evolution of the density and of the pressure tensor profiles of an otherwise collisionless…
Surface Oscillations in Overdense Plasmas Irradiated by Ultrashort Laser Pulses
A. Macchi, F. Cornolti, F. Pegoraro +3
The generation of electron surface oscillations in overdense plasmas irradiated at normal incidence by an intense laser pulse is investigated. Two-dimensional (2D) particle-in-cell…
