Topics in laboratory plasma instability and turbulence

<p>The first part of this thesis investigates the growth of ion density perturbations in large-amplitude laser-driven wakefields via two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. Growth rates and wave numbers of the perturbations are found to be consistent with a longitudinal strong-field modu...
