Anisotropic heating and magnetic field generation due to Raman scattering in laser-plasma interactions
2020
This work uses theory and particle-in-cell simulations to unveil a novel mechanism for the generation of strong magnetic fields in laser-plasma interactions. The authors show that stimulated Raman scattering plasma waves heat a plasma anisotropically. The resulting temperature anisotropy leads to the onset of the Weibel instability.
