Probing ultrafast magnetic-field generation by current filamentation instability in femtosecond relativistic laser-matter interactions

The current filamentation instability is a key phenomenon underpinning various processes in astrophysics, laboratory laser-plasma, and beam-plasma experiments. Here we show that the ultrafast dynamics of this instability can be explored in the context of relativistic laser-solid interactions through...
