Název v původním jazyce

Mildly relativistic collisionless shock formed by magnetic piston

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

By using particle-in-cell simulations, we study the collision of two plasma flows with one of them carrying a magnetic field. Ion interpenetration results in the formation of a magnetic piston with the magnetic field compression proportional to the density ratio of the colliding plasmas. The counterpropagating ions in the nonmagnetized plasma upstream from the piston excite the ion Weibel instability, which turns into magnetic turbulence. The thickness of the piston increases with time, and it turns into a reverse magnetized shock after less than one ion gyro period. In front of the piston, the time needed to decrease the nonmagnetized ion anisotropy using the magnetic turbulence is much larger than the ion gyroperiod in the piston. Consequently, particles are reflected by the piston, which acts as a wall initiating a transient phase. After several ion periods, the formation of this electromagnetic forward shock is, then, accelerated by the piston, and at large timescale.n
