Two types of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are observed: short-duration hard spectrum GRBs
and long-duration soft spectrum GRBs. For many years long GRBs were the focus of intense …

Marshall Rosenbluth's extensive contributions included seminal analysis of the physics of
the laser-plasma interaction and review and advocacy of the inertial fusion program. Over …

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 …

We present the first three-dimensional fully kinetic electromagnetic relativistic" particle-in-
cell" simulations of the collision of two interpenetrating plasma shells. The highly accurate …

Electron transport within solid targets, irradiated by a high-intensity short-pulse laser, has
been measured by imaging K α radiation from high-Z layers (Cu, Ti) buried in low-Z (CH, Al) …

Metal foil targets were irradiated with 1 μ m wavelength (λ) laser pulses of 5 ps duration and
focused intensities (I) of up to 4× 10 19 W cm-2, giving values of both I λ 2 and pulse …

At the core of some of the most important problems in plasma physics—from controlled
nuclear fusion to the acceleration of cosmic rays—is the challenge to describe nonlinear …

Hydrodynamical simulations of a cold dark matter universe imply relative motion of fully
ionized gaseous baryonic matter. Using the dispersion relation for the Weibel instability in …

The linear instability that induces a relativistic electron beam passing through a plasma with
return current to filament transversely is often related to some filamentation mode with the …

The formation of nonrelativistic collisionless shocks in the laboratory with ultrahigh intensity
lasers is studied via ab initio multidimensional particle-in-cell simulations. The microphysics …
