Abstract

Magnetic fields can be reorganized by plasma flows and lead to effects such as magnetic reconnection. Here the authors explore the evolution of magnetized-plasma bubbles in a semi-collisional regime and the role of pressure anisotropy in influencing the flow of the laser-produced plasma.

Abstract

The periodical change of the Crab nebula’s jet direction challenges our understanding of astrophysical jet dynamics. Here the authors use high-power lasers to create a jet that can be directly compared to the Crab nebula’s, and report the detection of plasma instabilities that mimic kink behaviour.
