This review aims at providing an up-to-date status and a general introduction to the subject
of the numerical study of energetic particle acceleration and transport in turbulent …

Laboratory generation of strong magnetic fields opens new frontiers in plasma and beam
physics, astro-and solar-physics, materials science and atomic and molecular physics …

In this concise review of the recent developments in relativistic shock theory in the Universe
we restrict ourselves to shocks that do not exhibit quantum effects. On the other hand …

The formation of nonrelativistic collisionless shocks in the laboratory with ultrahigh intensity
lasers is studied via ab initio multidimensional particle-in-cell simulations. The microphysics …

We present the first laboratory generation of high-Mach-number magnetized collisionless
shocks created through the interaction of an expanding laser-driven plasma with a …

Multi-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations are used to study the generation of
electrostatic shocks in plasma and the reflection of background ions to produce high-quality …

A series of Omega experiments have produced and characterized high velocity counter-
streaming plasma flows relevant for the creation of collisionless shocks. Single and double …

Proton imaging is commonly used to reveal the electric and magnetic fields that are found in
high energy density plasmas. Presented here is an analysis of this technique that is directed …

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 …

Collisionless shocks are ubiquitous in astrophysics and in the lab. Recent numerical
simulations and experiments have shown how they can arise from the encounter of two …
