Three-dimensional structure and stability of discontinuities between unmagnetized pair plasma and magnetized electron-proton plasma
We study with a 3D particle-in-cell simulation discontinuities between an electron–positron pair plasma and magnetized electrons and protons. A pair plasma is injected at one simulation boundary with a speed 0.6 c along its normal. It expands into an electron-proton plasma and a magnetic field that...
