3D hybrid simulations

Simulation of a magnetic e=reconnection event between two plasmas generated by high-power lasers on two different targets, one inclined with respect to the other.

 
 

WE OFFER…

A unique capability to simulate 3D plasma generation and dynamics.

The code has already been applied to quantitatively simulate experiments performed on many laser facilities worldwide: JLF/Titan, LULI2000, Omega (LLE),

The code is detailed here: Sladkov, A., Smets, R. & Korzhimanov, A. Three-dimensional hybrid numerical tool for collisionless plasma modeling. In Journal of Physics: Conference Series, vol. 1640, 012011 (IOP Publishing, 2020). https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/1640/1/012011
