Journal ArticleDOI
Transverse-Wake Wave Breaking
TL;DR: In this paper, a transversely inhomogeneous, finite amplitude wake wave undergoes a transverse wave breaking due to the increase of the wake front curvature, followed by the self-intersection of electron trajectories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiation reaction effects on radiation pressure acceleration
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple suitable approximation of the Landau-Lifshitz equation for the RR force and a novel leap-frog pusher for its inclusion in particle-in-cell simulations are provided.

TL;DR: The energy of ions accelerated by an intense electromagnetic wave in the radiation pressure dominated regime can be greatly enhanced due to a transverse expansion of a thin target.
Journal ArticleDOI
Invariants and Geometric Structures in Nonlinear Hamiltonian Magnetic Reconnection
Emilio Cafaro,Daniela Grasso,Daniela Grasso,Francesco Pegoraro,Francesco Pegoraro,Francesco Porcelli,A. Saluzzi,A. Saluzzi +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, collisionless magnetic reconnection in a two-dimensional plasma is analyzed, using a twofluid model where electron mass and pressure effects are important, and numerical simulations show the formation of current and vorticity layers along two branches crossing at the stagnation point of the plasma flow.
