Saint Elmo's fire and lightning are two known forms of naturally occurring atmospheric pressure plasmas. As a technology, non-thermal plasmas are induced from artificially created electromagnetic or electrostatic fields. Here we report the observation of arguably a new case of a naturally formed such plasma, created...

Laser-induced discharge within a vacuum gap of few millimeters between electrodes is experimentally studied. The discharge is triggered by 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser pulses with intensities varied from 10^7 W/cm^2 to 10^9 W/cm^2 on the surface of titanium target electrode. The current formation time dependences from both...

Microwave Pulse Compressor (MPC) is an high power microwave device designed for generation of 100's of MW's thru amplification. The amplification is based upon time compression of an initial Microwave (RF) pulse characterized by a long (µsec) duration to a short (ns) output pulse, ideally increasing the RF power by...

Gyrokinetic stability of plasmas in a Z-pinch magnetic geometry is studied numerically using the GENE code [1] with a particular focus on the behaviour of "pair plasmas" consisting of positrons and electrons. Importantly, the simulations presented here are potentially applicable to dipole systems such as the upcoming...

Since more than three decades, numerical simulations of fusion plasmas have undergone significant development. Nowadays, access to the High-Performance Computing facilities allows one to model realistic plasma scenarios. The questions perhaps remain open about verification and validity of the results obtained from...

We show from first principles that an incoherent photon pulse traversing a plasma can excite a plasma wake via Compton scattering. We distinguish two regimes: i) the non-relativistic regime, where the incoherent photons have energy below the electron rest mass, and ii) the relativistic regime, where the incoherent...

Theory predicts that a magnetically confined electron-positron plasma with short Debye length will be remarkably stable and exhibit unique wave physics. The APEX (A PositronElectron eXperiment) project is progressing toward an experimental realization of such a system to test some of those predictions. In this...

It is estimated that a commercial aircraft will experience a lightning strike event once per year. This poses a significant risk to poorly conducting, carbon-fibre composite aircraft structures. The most widely adopted approach of providing lightning strike protection, on composite aerostructures, is through the...

Water, methane, and ammonia are amongst the key components of Uranus and Neptune. Knowing their equation of state, conductivity, and transport properties at planetary interiors conditions (pressures of several megabar and temperatures of a few thousand Kelvin) is required for developing precise models of the two...

Gravitationnal waves have been predicted from Einstein's equations since he wrote his theory on General Relativity [1]. A century later, the LIGO [2] and VIRGO interferometers were at last able to pick up a gravitationnal wave from the merging of extremely massive astrophysical objects. The existence of gravitationnal...

The Ring Trap 1 (RT-1) device creates a laboratory magnetosphere that is realized by a levitated superconducting ring magnet in vacuum [1]. The RT-1 experiment has demonstrated the self-organization of a plasma clump with a steep density gradient; a peaked density distribution is spontaneously created through 'uphill...

Electron cyclotron instabilities caused by resonant interaction between energetic electrons and electromagnetic waves are typical for plasma confined in open magnetic configurations. Studies of the cyclotron instabilities of non-equilibrium plasmas have led to the plasma cyclotron maser paradigm, which explains a...

Shock formation through the interaction of supersonic plasma jets with ambient plasma is ubiquitous in astrophysics. Since magnetic fields often play a role in these systems, it is of particular interest to understand how they affect the formation and evolution of shocks. An investigation of magnetized shocks has...

In recent years, experiments with laser-target interactions create plasma with extremely strong magnetic fields (~ MGauss). With these conditions, and the unprecedented resolution that these experiments can now operate, we are able to probe physics that also occurs in astrophysical systems. In particular, the...

MegaGausslevel magnetic fields applied to laser produced plasmas are opening the door to a range of new studies in inertial confinement fusion and laboratory astrophysics. Our experiments and related theoretical work have addressed the physics of magnetized accretion flows [1], jet collimation [2, 3] and variability...
