Laboratory observation of collective beam-plasma instabilities in a relativistic pair jet
J W D Halliday, C D Arrowsmith, A M Goillot +37
We report on a measurement of collective behavior in a relativistic electron-positron pair plasma produced in the laboratory. Using the Fireball platform at CERN's HiRadMat facilit…

Design of experiments characterising heat conduction in magnetised, weakly collisional plasma
T. A. Vincent, P. Ariyathilaka, L. Creaser +15
Heat conduction in weakly collisional, magnetised plasma is challenging to model accurately due to multifaceted physics governing heat-carrying electrons, including microinstabilit…

Suppression of pair beam instabilities in a laboratory analogue of blazar pair cascades
Charles D. Arrowsmith, Francesco Miniati, Pablo J. Bilbao +28
The generation of dense electron-positron pair beams in the laboratory can enable direct tests of theoretical models of -ray bursts and active galactic nuclei. We have successf…
