Visualizing electromagnetic fields in laser-produced counter-streaming plasma experiments for collisionless shock laboratory astrophysics by Kugland, N, Ross, J, Chang, P, Drake, R, Fiksel, G, Froula, D, Glenzer, S, Gregori, G, Grosskopf, M, Huntington, C, Koenig, M, Kuramitsu, Y, Kuranz, C, Levy, M, Liang, E, Martinez, D, Meinecke, J, Miniati, F, Morita, T, Pelka, A, Plechaty, C, Presura, R, Ravasio, A, Remington, B, Reville, B

“…Collisionless shocks are often observed in fast-moving astrophysical plasmas, formed by non-classical viscosity that is believed to originate from collective electromagnetic fields driven by kinetic plasma instabilities. …”

Studying astrophysical collisionless shocks with counterstreaming plasmas from high power lasers by Park, H, Ryutov, D, Ross, J, Kugland, N, Glenzer, S, Plechaty, C, Pollaine, S, Remington, B, Spitkovsky, A, Gargate, L, Gregori, G, Bell, A, Murphy, C, Sakawa, Y, Kuramitsu, Y, Morita, T, Takabe, H, Froula, D, Fiksel, G, Miniati, F, Koenig, M, Ravasio, A, Pelka, A, Liang, E, Woolsey, N

“…Because of the low density of astrophysical plasmas, the mean free path due to Coulomb collisions is typically very large. …”
