Particle-in-cell simulations of laser beat-wave magnetization of dense plasmas
D. R. Welch, T. C. Genoni, C. Thoma +2
The interaction of two lasers with a difference frequency near that of the ambient plasma frequency produces beat waves that can resonantly accelerate thermal electrons. These beat…

Particle-in-cell simulations of collisionless shock formation via head-on merging of two laboratory supersonic plasma jets
C. Thoma, D. R. Welch, S. C. Hsu
We describe numerical simulations, using the particle-in-cell (PIC) and hybrid-PIC code Lsp [T. P. Hughes et al., Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 2, 110401 (1999)], of the head-on mergi…

Simulations of Magnetic Field Generation in Unmagnetized Plasmas via Beat Wave Current Drive
D. R. Welch, T. C. Genoni, C. Thoma +3
This work describes the scientific basis and associated simulation results for the magnetization of an unmagnetized plasma via beat wave current drive. Two-dimensional electromagne…
