Magnetic field amplification by cosmic rays in supernova remnants
Magnetic field amplification is needed to accelerate cosmic cays to PeV energies in supernova remants. Escaping cosmic rays trigger a return current in the plasma that drives a non-resonant hybrid instability. We run simulations in which we represent the escaping cosmic rays with the plasma return c...
