A novel kinetic mechanism for the onset of fast magnetic reconnection and plasmoid instabilities in collisionless plasmas
W. Fox, G. Fiksel, D. B. Schaeffer +9
Magnetic reconnection can explosively release magnetic energy when opposing magnetic fields merge and annihilate through a current sheet, driving plasma jets and accelerating non-t…
Weibel instability drives large magnetic field generation in laser-driven single plume ablation
Jackson Matteucci, Will Fox, Amitava Bhattacharjee +6
First-principles kinetic simulations are used to investigate magnetic field generation processes in expanding ablated plasmas relevant to laser-driven foils and hohlraums. In addit…
Effect of Electromagnetic Pulse Transverse Inhomogeneity on the Ion Acceleration by Radiation Pressure
K. V. Lezhnin, F. F. Kamenets, V. S. Beskin +3
In the ion acceleration by radiation pressure a transverse inhomogeneity of the electromagnetic pulse results in the displacement of the irradiated target in the off-axis direction…
On the spherically-symmetric turbulent accretion
V. S. Beskin, K. V. Lezhnin
We analize the quasi-spherical accretion in the presence of axisymmetric vortex turbulence. It is shown that in this case the turbulence changes mainly the effective gravity potent…
