Simulation of relativistically colliding laser-generated electron flows
Xiaohu Yang, Mark E. Dieckmann, Gianluca Sarri +1
The plasma dynamics resulting from the simultaneous impact, of two equal, ultra-intense laser pulses, in two spatially separated spots, onto a dense target is studied via particle-…
Magnetic instability in a dilute circular rarefaction wave
Mark Eric Dieckmann, Gianluca Sarri, Marco Borghesi
The generation of a magnetic field in a circular rarefaction wave is examined in form of a 2D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. Electrons with a temperature of 32 keV are uniforml…
Dynamics of self-generated, large amplitude magnetic fields following high-intensity laser matter interaction
G. Sarri, A. Macchi, C. A. Cecchetti +15
The dynamics of magnetic fields with amplitude of several tens of Megagauss, generated at both sides of a solid target irradiated with a high intensity (? 1019W/cm2) picosecond las…
Ion acceleration in multispecies targets driven by intense laser radiation pressure
S. Kar, K. F. Kakolee, B. Qiao +15
The acceleration of ions from ultra-thin foils has been investigated using 250 TW, sub-ps laser pulses, focused on target at intensities up to $3\times10^{20} \Wcm2$. The ion spect…
Particle simulation study of electron heating by counterstreaming ion beams ahead of supernova remnant shocks
M. E. Dieckmann, A. Bret, G. Sarri +3
The growth and saturation of Buneman-type instabilities is examined with a particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation for parameters that are representative for the foreshock region of fast…
PIC simulation of a thermal anisotropy-driven Weibel instability in a circular rarefaction wave
M. E. Dieckmann, G. Sarri, G. C. Murphy +6
The expansion of an initially unmagnetized planar rarefaction wave has recently been shown to trigger a thermal anisotropy-driven Weibel instability (TAWI), which can generate magn…
