TL;DR: In this article, the nonlinear saturation of crossed-beam energy transfer (CBET) for multispeckled laser beams crossing at arbitrary angles is examined using vector particle-in-cell simulations.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of Coulomb collisions on the dynamics of driven magnetic reconnection in geometry mimicking the Magnetic Reconnection eXperiment (MRX) was investigated using two-dimensional (2D) fully kinetic simulations with a Monte Carlo treatment of the collision operator.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived a scaling relation for the maximum scattering rate of proton cyclotron anisotropy reduction using two-dimensional hybrid simulations in a homogeneous, magnetized, collisionless plasma.

TL;DR: In this article, an analytic theory has been derived for the properties of these solitons that reproduces the behavior observed in kinetic simulations and the experiments at the Trident laser facility, where quasi-monoenergetic ion beams have been obtained from the interaction of an ultraintense, circularly polarized laser with a diamond-like carbon target.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe results from ensembles of hybrid simulations of steady, homogeneous, collisionless plasmas characterized by average solar wind parameters near 1 AU upon which damped, resonant Alfven-cyclotron fluctuations are imposed.
