Evolution of slow electrostatic shock into a plasma shock mediated by electrostatic turbulence
Evolution of slow electrostatic shock into a plasma shock mediated by electrostatic turbulence
The collision of two plasma clouds at a speed that exceeds the ion acoustic speed can result in the formation of shocks. This phenomenon is observed not only in astrophysical scenarios such as the propagation of supernova remnant (SNR) blast shells into the interstellar medium, but also in laboratory-based laser-plasma …
