A possible contribution of whistlers to fine structure production due to the coalescence process with plasma waves 1 + w → t at frequencies ω1 ± ωw = ωt is estimated. A whistler ray tracing in the solar corona with the twice Newkirk density model and with a dipole magnetic field using a standard numerical integration of the Haselgrove two-dimensional equations is performed.

AbstractA two-layer target irradiated by an intense laser to generate strong interface magnetic field is proposed. The mechanism is analyzed through a simply physical model and investigated by two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation. The effect of laser intensity on the resulting magnetic field strength is also studied. It is found that the magnetic field can reach up to several ten megagauss for laser intensity at 1019 Wcm−2.

AbstractTwo-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations have been used to investigate the interaction between a laser pulse and a foil exposed to an external strong longitudinal magnetic field. Compared with that in the absence of the external magnetic field, the divergence of proton with the magnetic field in radiation pressure acceleration (RPA) regimes has improved remarkably due to the restriction of the electron transverse expansion. During the RPA process, the foil develops into a typical bubble-like shape resulting from the combined action of transversal ponderomotive force and instabilities. However, the foil prefers to be in a cone-like shape by using the magnetic field. The dependence of proton divergence on the strength of magnetic field has been studied, and an optimal magnetic field of nearly 60 kT is achieved in these simulations.

AbstractWe investigate the Weibel instability in counter-propagating electron–ion plasmas with focus on the ion contribution, considering a realistic mass ratio. A generalized dispersion relation is derived from the relativistic theory by assuming an initially anisotropic temperature, which is represented by a waterbag distribution in momentum space, which shows an enhanced growth rate due to ion response. Two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations support the theoretical analysis, showing a further amplification of magnetic field on ion time scale. The effect of an initial anisotropic temperature is investigated showing that the growth rate is monotonously decreased if the transverse spread is increased. Nevertheless, the presence of ions generates that the instability can develop for significantly higher electron temperatures. Suppression of oblique mode is also explored by introducing a parallel velocity spread.
