Fast advection of magnetic fields by hot electrons. by Willingale, L, Thomas, A, Nilson, P, Kaluza, M, Bandyopadhyay, S, Dangor, A, Evans, R, Fernandes, P, Haines, MG, Kamperidis, C, Kingham, R, Minardi, S, Notley, M, Ridgers, C, Rozmus, W, Sherlock, M, Tatarakis, M, Wei, MS, Najmudin, Z, Krushelnick, K

“…At intensities of 10(15)   W  cm(-2) and under conditions of significant fast electron production and strong heat fluxes, the electron mean-free-path is long compared with the temperature gradient scale length and hence nonlocal transport is important for the dynamics of the magnetic field in the plasma. The hot electron flux transports self-generated magnetic fields away from the focal region through the Nernst effect [A. …”
