Ion acceleration by superintense laser-plasma interaction
Ion acceleration driven by superintense laser pulses is attracting an impressive and steadily
increasing effort. Motivations can be found in the applicative potential and in the perspective …

Relativistic jets shine through shocks or magnetic reconnection?
Observations of gamma-ray-bursts and jets from active galactic nuclei reveal that the jet flow
is characterized by a high radiative efficiency and that the dissipative mechanism must be a …

The maximum energy of accelerated particles in relativistic collisionless shocks
The afterglow emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is usually interpreted as synchrotron
radiation from electrons accelerated at the GRB external shock that propagates with …

Observation of magnetic field generation via the Weibel instability in interpenetrating plasma flows
Collisionless shocks can be produced as a result of strong magnetic fields in a plasma flow,
and therefore are common in many astrophysical systems. The Weibel instability is one …
