The interest in relativistic beam-plasma instabilities has been greatly rejuvenated over the
past two decades by novel concepts in laboratory and space plasmas. Recent advances in …

Fast ignition (FI) inertial confinement fusion is a variant of inertial fusion in which DT fuel is
first compressed to high density and then ignited by a relativistic electron beam generated …

Many competing linear instabilities are likely to occur in astrophysical settings, and it is
important to assess which one grows faster for a given situation. An analytical model …

Following a recent Letter by Bret [Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 205008 (2008)], we present a
detailed report of the entire unstable k spectrum of a relativistic collisionless beam-plasma …

In collisional fluids, a number of key processes rely on the frequency of binary collisions.
Collisions seem necessary to generate a shock wave when two fluids collide fast enough, to …

Charged and quasineutral beams propagating through an unmagnetized plasma are
subject to numerous collisionless instabilities on the small scale of the plasma skin depth …

The relativistic Weibel instability has received much attention because of its potential
application to astrophysical problems. The purpose of this paper is to correct certain …

Electron–positron (e–p) plasmas are widely thought to be emitted, in the form of ultra-
relativistic winds or collimated jets, by some of the most energetic or powerful objects in the …

A multidimensional electron phase‐space hole (electron hole) is considered to be unstable
to the transverse instability. In this paper, we perform two‐dimensional (2D) particle‐in‐cell …

We present results of 2D3V particle-in-cell simulations of nonrelativistic plasma collisions
with absent or parallel large-scale magnetic field for parameters applicable to the conditions …
