We study with 1D PIC simulations the expansion of a dense plasma into a dilute one for density ratios 2.5 ≤ α ≤ 20. Both are unmagnetized and consist of electrons and protons. Shocks… Click to show full abstract
We study with 1D PIC simulations the expansion of a dense plasma into a dilute one for density ratios 2.5 ≤ α ≤ 20. Both are unmagnetized and consist of electrons and protons. Shocks form in all ca ...
