Simulation of Astrophysical Jets in Magnetic Fields of Laser Relativistic Plasmas

Abstract

A brief review of the results of experimental modeling of cosmic jets in superstrong magnetic fields of laser relativistic plasma is given. It is noted that the development of cyclotron instability with the generation of cyclotron radiation plays a key role in a number of processes in a plasma with a magnetic field: self-localization of plasma in the form of solitons, conversion of rotational motion of plasma into translational motion, cyclotron acceleration of charged particles, and separation (stratification) of a plasma jet into separate plasma formations.
