Abstract: | Laboratory experiments using a plasma wind generated by laser-target interaction are proposed and analyzed to investigate
the creation of a shock in front of the magnetosphere and the dynamo mechanism. The proposed experiments and simulations are
thought to be relevant to understanding the electron acceleration mechanisms at work in shock-driven magnetic dipole confined
plasma in compact magnetized stars. |
