One of the key questions in the study of relativistic jets is how magnetic reconnection occurs and whether it can effectively accelerate electrons in the jet. We performed 3D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of a relativistic…
We investigate the dynamical spin polarization of a massless electron probing an electron plasma in locally thermal equilibrium via the Moller scattering from the quantum kinetic theory. We derive an axial kinetic equation delineating the…
The theory of electron holes is extended into the quantum regime. The Wigner--Poisson system is solved perturbatively based in lowest order on a weak, standing electron hole. Quantum corrections are shown to lower the potential amplitude…
The electron dynamics and the mechanisms of power absorption in radio-frequency (RF) driven, magnetically enhanced capacitively coupled plasmas (MECCPs) at low pressure are investigated. The device in focus is a geometrically asymmetric…
Recently our group analyzed how the probability distribution for the jet opening angle is modified in an ensemble of jets that has propagated through an expanding cooling droplet of plasma [1]. Each jet in the ensemble is represented…
An electron plasma can be confined for a theoretically infinite time in a Penning-Malmberg trap, a linear, azimuthally-symmetric magneto-electrostatic device where upon suitable conditions (high magnetization) the transverse dynamics of the…
The possibility of suddenly ionized molecules undergoing extremely fast electron hole dynamics prior to significant structural change was first recognized more than 20 years ago and termed charge migration. The accurate probing of ultrafast…
The formation of collisionless shock fronts is an ubiquitous phenomenon in space plasma environments. In the solar wind shocks might accompany coronal mass ejections, while even more violent events, such as supernovae, produce shock fronts…
Fast electrons in partially ionized plasmas lose energy through inelastic collisions with bound electrons. While the mean energy loss is well described by stopping-power theory, fluctuations associated with discrete excitation and…
The effect of changing the driving frequency on the plasma density and the electron dynamics in a capacitive radio-frequency argon plasma operated at low pressures of a few Pa is investigated by Particle in Cell/Monte Carlo Collisions…
Radiative damping in plasma-based electron accelerators is analyzed. The electron dynamics under combined influence of the constant accelerating force and the classical radiation reaction force is studied. It is shown that electron…
Electron and ion energization (i.e., heating and nonthermal acceleration) is a fundamental, but poorly understood, outcome of plasma turbulence. In this work, we present new results on this topic from particle-in-cell simulations of driven…
This Letter shows that for particularly shaped background particle distributions momentum exchange between phase space holes and the distribution causes acceleration of the holes along the magnetic field. In the particular case of a…
In this paper, we consider angular momentum fluctuations of a Schwartzschild black hole in thermal equilibrium with radiation which, for the sake of simplicity is here modeled by a scalar field. Important, we do not set the black hole…
The non-equilibrium dynamics of strongly correlated many-body systems exhibits some of the most puzzling phenomena and challenging problems in condensed matter physics. Here we report on essentially exact results on the time evolution of an…
This study presents an investigation into the thermodynamic properties of a dirty black hole immersed in a uniform electric field within the framework of the Einstein-Nonlinear Electrodynamics (ENE)-dilaton theory. The analysis delves into…
We propose to unify two a priori distinct aspects of black hole physics : their thermodynamics, and their effective dynamics when they are "skeletonized" as point particles (a useful procedure when tackling, for example, their motion in a…
Methods for constructing synthetic multidimensional electron hole equilibria without using particle simulation are investigated. Previous approaches have various limitations and approximations that make them unsuitable within the context of…
When a black hole evaporates, there arises a net energy flow from the black hole into its outside environment due to the Hawking radiation and the energy accretion onto black hole. Exactly speaking, due to the net energy flow, the black…
Shock acceleration is a ubiquitous phenomenon in astrophysical plasmas. Plasma waves and their associated instabilities (e.g., Buneman, Weibel and other two-stream instabilities) created in collisionless shocks are responsible for particle…
