Collisionless shock waves in supernova remnants and the solar wind heat electrons less
effectively than they heat ions, as is predicted by kinetic simulations. However, the values of …

The energy partition in high Mach number collisionless shock waves is central to a wide
range of high-energy astrophysical environments. We present a new theoretical model for …

Collisionless low-Mach-number shocks are abundant in astrophysical and space plasma
environments, exhibiting complex wave activity and wave–particle interactions. In this paper …

Laboratory laser experiments offer a novel approach to studying magnetized collisionless
shocks, and a common method in recent experiments is to drive shocks using a laser …

Laser-driven tin plasmas are driving new-generation nanolithography as sources of extreme
ultraviolet (EUV) radiation centered at 13.5 nm. A major challenge facing industrial EUV …

Perpendicular, magnetized, collisionless shocks in hydrogen and neon plasmas are studied
with 2D particle-in-cell simulations for parameters accessible to experiments on OMEGA EP …

We develop a ray-tracing model for laser-plasma interaction suitable for coupling in-line into
kinetic particle-in-cell plasma simulation. The model is based on inverse Bremsstrahlung …

The particle-in-cell numerical method of plasma physics balances a trade-off between
computational cost and intrinsic noise. Inference on data produced by these simulations …

Over the past few decades, laser technology has developed dramatically, achieving
ultrahigh peak laser powers. Currently operating laser facilities (eg, NIF, OMEGAEP, and …
