Formation of collisionless shocks driven by strongly magnetized relativistic electrons in the laboratory

Formation of collisionless shocks driven by strongly magnetized relativistic electrons in the laboratory

In experiments performed with the OMEGA EP laser system, proton deflectometry captured magnetic field dynamics consistent with collisionless shock formation driven by strongly magnetized relativistic electrons. During laser-foil interactions, shocks can form as relativistic electrons and strong surf...
