Spatial-temporal evolution of the current filamentation instability

V. B. Pathak, T. Grismayer, A. Stockem +2

The spatial-temporal evolution of the purely transverse current filamentation instability is analyzed by deriving a single partial differential equation for the instability and obt…

Constraints for the aperiodic O-mode streaming instability

M. Lazar, R. Schlickeiser, S. Poedts +2

In plasmas where the thermal energy density exceeds the magnetic energy density (), the aperiodic ordinary mode (O-mode) instability is driven by an excess of para…

Electromagnetic field generation in the downstream of electrostatic shocks due to electron trapping

A. Stockem, T. Grismayer, R. A. Fonseca +1

A new magnetic field generation mechanism in electrostatic shocks is found, which can produce fields with magnetic energy density as high as 0.01 of the kinetic energy density of t…

Collisionless Weibel shocks: full formation mechanism and timing

Antoine Bret, Anne Stockem, Ramesh Narayan +1

Collisionless shocks in plasmas play an important role in space physics (Earth's bow shock) and astrophysics (supernova remnants, relativistic jets, gamma-ray bursts, high energy c…

Exploring the nature of collisionless shocks under laboratory conditions

A. Stockem, F. Fiuza, A. Bret +2

Collisionless shocks are pervasive in astrophysics and they are critical to understand cosmic ray acceleration. Laboratory experiments with intense lasers are now opening the way t…

Ion acceleration from laser-driven electrostatic shocks

F. Fiuza, A. Stockem, E. Boella +6

Multi-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations are used to study the generation of electrostatic shocks in plasma and the reflection of background ions to produce high-quality and…

The impact of kinetic effects on the properties of relativistic electron-positron shocks

A. Stockem, F. Fiuza, R. A. Fonseca +1

We assess the impact of non-thermally shock-accelerated particles on the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) jump conditions of relativistic shocks. The adiabatic constant is calculated dire…

Acceleration in perpendicular relativistic shocks for plasmas consisting of leptons and hadrons

A. Stockem, F. Fiuza, R. A. Fonseca +1

We investigate the acceleration of light particles in perpendicular shocks for plasmas consisting of a mixture of leptonic and hadronic particles. Starting from the full set of con…

Laser-driven shock acceleration of monoenergetic ion beams

F. Fiuza, A. Stockem, E. Boella +7

We show that monoenergetic ion beams can be accelerated by moderate Mach number collisionless, electrostatic shocks propagating in a long scale-length exponentially decaying plasma…
