Rapid self-magnetization of laser speckles in plasmas by nonlinear anisotropic instability

Presented here are the first kinetic two-dimensional Vlasov- Fokker-Planck calculations of inertial confinement fusion-related laser-plasma interactions, to include self-consistent magnetic fields, hydrodynamic plasma expansion and anisotropic electron pressure. An underdense plasma, reminiscent of...
