Simulation of a collision-less planar electrostatic shock in a proton-electron plasma with a strong initial thermal pressure change
M E Dieckmann, G Sarri, L Romagnani +2
The localized deposition of the energy of a laser pulse, as it ablates a solid target, introduces high thermal pressure gradients in the plasma. The thermal expansion of this laser…
Electric field generation by the electron beam filamentation instability: Filament size effects
M E Dieckmann, A Bret
The filamentation instability (FI) of counter-propagating beams of electrons is modelled with a particle-in-cell simulation in one spatial dimension and with a high statistical pla…
The filamentation instability driven by warm electron beams: Statistics and electric field generation
M E Dieckmann
The filamentation instability of counterpropagating symmetric beams of electrons is examined with 1D and 2D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, which are oriented orthogonally to t…
Particle-in-cell simulation of a mildly relativistic collision of an electron-ion plasma carrying a quasi-parallel magnetic field: Electron acceleration and magnetic field amplification at supernova shocks
M E Dieckmann, G Murphy, A Meli +1
Plasma processes close to SNR shocks result in the amplification of magnetic fields and in the acceleration of electrons, injecting them into the diffusive acceleration mechanism.…
One-dimensional particle simulation of the filamentation instability: electrostatic field driven by the magnetic pressure gradient force
M. E. Dieckmann, I. Kourakis, M. Borghesi +1
Two counter-propagating cool and equally dense electron beams are modelled with particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The electron beam filamentation instability is examined in one s…
PIC simulations of the Thermal Anisotropy-Driven Weibel Instability: Field growth and phase space evolution upon saturation
A Stockem, M E Dieckmann, R Schlickeiser
The Weibel instability is investigated with PIC simulations of an initially unmagnetized and spatially uniform electron plasma. This instability, which is driven by the thermally a…
