Proton imaging has become a key diagnostic for measuring electromagnetic fields in high-
energy-density (HED) laboratory plasmas. Compared to other techniques for diagnosing …

This review aims at providing an up-to-date status and a general introduction to the subject
of the numerical study of energetic particle acceleration and transport in turbulent …

Astrophysical collisionless shocks are among the most powerful particle accelerators in the
Universe. Generated by violent interactions of supersonic plasma flows with the interstellar …

Collisionless shock waves in supernova remnants and the solar wind heat electrons less
effectively than they heat ions, as is predicted by kinetic simulations. However, the values of …

A theory of electron injection into diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) for the generation of
cosmic-ray electrons at collisionless shocks is presented. We consider a recently proposed …

We present the first laboratory observations of time-resolved electron and ion velocity
distributions in magnetized collisionless shock precursors. Thomson scattering of a probe …

Interactions between magnetic fields advected by matter play a fundamental role in the
Universe at a diverse range of scales. A crucial role these interactions play is in making …

Laboratory experiments provide a valuable complement to explore the fundamental physics
of space plasmas without the limitations inherent to spacecraft measurements. Specifically …

Electron heating at Earth's quasiperpendicular bow shock has been surmised to be due to
the combined effects of a quasistatic electric potential and scattering through wave-particle …

Recent laboratory experiments with laser-produced plasmas have observed and studied a
number of fundamental physical processes relevant to magnetized astrophysical plasmas …
