Boosting the performance of Brillouin amplification at sub-quarter-critical densities via reduction of parasitic Raman scattering
R. M. G. M. Trines, E. P. Alves, K. A. Humphrey +6
Raman and Brillouin amplification of laser pulses in plasma have been shown to produce picosecond pulses of petawatt power. In previous studies, filamentation of the probe pulse ha…
An exploration of the effectiveness of artificial mini-magnetospheres as a potential Solar Storm shelter for long term human space missions
Ruth Bamford, Barry Kellett, John Bradford +7
In this paper we explore the effectiveness of an artificial mini-magnetosphere as a potential radiation shelter for long term human space missions. Our study includes the differenc…
Electron-scale shear instabilities: magnetic field generation and particle acceleration in astrophysical jets
E. P. Alves, T. Grismayer, R. A. Fonseca +1
Strong shear flow regions found in astrophysical jets are shown to be important dissipation regions, where the shear flow kinetic energy is converted into electric and magnetic fie…
