A quantum algorithm for the linear Vlasov equation with collisions
Abtin Ameri, Paola Cappellaro, Hari Krovi +2
The Vlasov equation is a nonlinear partial differential equation that provides a first-principles description of the dynamics of plasmas. Its linear limit is routinely used in plas…
Observation of electromagnetic filamentary structures produced by the Weibel instability in laser-driven plasmas
G. D. Sutcliffe, P. J. Adrian, J. A. Pearcy +6
We present experimental observations of electron-scale structures in an expanding high-energy-density (HED) plasma generated with a modest intensity W/cm$^2…
Experimental Evidence of Plasmoids in High- Magnetic Reconnection
J. A. Pearcy, M. J. Rosenberg, T. M. Johnson +6
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous and fundamental process in plasmas by which magnetic fields change their topology and release magnetic energy. Despite decades of research, th…
Spontaneous magnetization of collisionless plasma through the action of a shear flow
Muni Zhou, Vladimir Zhdankin, Matthew W. Kunz +2
We study in a fully kinetic framework the generation of seed magnetic fields through the Weibel instability driven in an initially unmagnetized plasma by a large-scale shear force.…
Statistical description of coalescing magnetic islands via magnetic reconnection
Muni Zhou, David H. Wu, Nuno F. Loureiro +1
The physical picture of interacting magnetic islands provides a useful paradigm for certain plasma dynamics in a variety of physical environments, such as the solar corona, the hel…
Laminar and Turbulent Plasmoid Ejection in a Laboratory Parker Spiral Current Sheet
Ethan E. Peterson, Douglass A. Endrizzi, Michael Clark +8
Quasi-periodic plasmoid formation at the tip of magnetic streamer structures is observed to occur in experiments on the Big Red Ball as well as in simulations of these experiments…
