Expansion-Driven Self-Magnetization of High-Energy-Density Plasmas
K. V. Lezhnin, S. R. Totorica, J. Griff-McMahon +4
Understanding plasma self-magnetization is one of the fundamental challenges in both laboratory and astrophysical plasmas. Self-magnetization can modify the plasma transport proper…

Particle collisionality in scaled kinetic plasma simulations
S. R. Totorica, K. V. Lezhnin, W. Fox
Kinetic plasma processes, such as magnetic reconnection, collisionless shocks, and turbulence, are fundamental to the dynamics of astrophysical and laboratory plasmas. Simulating t…

Ray-tracing laser-deposition model for plasma particle-in-cell simulation
Abdullah Hyder, Will Fox, Kirill Lezhnin +1
We develop a ray-tracing model for laser-plasma interaction suitable for coupling in-line into kinetic particle-in-cell plasma simulation. The model is based on inverse Bremsstrahl…
