In the decade from the mid 80's to the mid 90's there was considerable interest in the
generation of diamagnetic cavities produced by the sub-Alfvenic expansion of heavy ions …

In 1991 a manuscript describing an instrument for studying magnetized plasmas was
published in this journal. The Large Plasma Device (LAPD) was upgraded in 2001 and has …

We report the first measurements of the formation and structure of a magnetized collisionless
shock by a laser‐driven magnetic piston in a current‐free laboratory plasma. This new class …

A developing supercritical collisionless shock propagating in a homogeneously magnetized
plasma of ambient gas origin having higher uniformity than the previous experiments is …

Abstract The AMPTE (Active Magnetospheric Particle Tracer Explorers) mission provided in
situ measurements of collisionless momentum and energy exchange between an artificial …

Collisionless shocks are common phenomena in space and astrophysical systems, and in
many cases, the shocks can be modeled as the result of the expansion of a magnetic piston …

We present two-dimensional hybrid kinetic/magnetohydrodynamic simulations of planned
laser-ablation experiments in the Large Plasma Device. Our results, based on parameters …

Experiments, analytic modeling, and numerical simulations are presented to characterize
carbon plasmas produced by high-intensity (⁠ 10 9− 10 13 W cm− 2) lasers relevant to …

Various systems can be modeled as a point-like explosion of ionized debris into a
magnetized, collisionless background plasma—including astrophysical examples, active …

The coupling between a rapidly expanding cloud of ionized debris and an ambient
magnetized plasma is revisited with a hybrid (kinetic ion/fluid electron) simulation code that …
