By imploding fuel of hydrogen isotopes, inertial confinement fusion (ICF) aims to create
conditions that mimic those in the Sun's core. This is fluid dynamics in an extreme regime …

Collisionless shocks, that is shocks mediated by electromagnetic processes, are customary
in space physics and in astrophysics. They are to be found in a great variety of objects and …

Magnetic reconnection, the rearrangement of magnetic field topologies, is a fundamental
plasma process throughout the universe, which converts magnetic energy to plasma kinetic …

Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the Universe. The energy density of these fields is typically
comparable to the energy density of the fluid motions of the plasma in which they are …

We summarize recent additions and improvements to the high energy density physics
capabilities in FLASH, highlighting new non-ideal magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) …

Understanding magnetic-field generation and amplification in turbulent plasma is essential
to account for observations of magnetic fields in the universe. A theoretical framework …

How electrons get accelerated to relativistic energies in a high-Mach-number
quasiperpendicular shock is presented by means of ab initio particle-in-cell simulations in …

The magnetic fields generated at the surface of a laser-irradiated planar solid target are
mapped using ultrafast proton radiography. Thick (50 μ m) plastic foils are irradiated with 4 …

Interaction of an ultrastrong short laser pulse with nonprepolarized near-critical density
plasma is investigated in an ultrarelativistic regime, with an emphasis on the radiative spin …

The visible matter in the universe is turbulent and magnetized. Turbulence in galaxy clusters
is produced by mergers and by jets of the central galaxies and believed responsible for the …
