Numerical Simulation of the Weibel Instability in One and Two Dimensions
Abstract
Particle-in-cell simulation methods for doing full electromagnetic simulations of collisionless plasma phenomena are described and applied to the Weibel instability in one and two dimensions. Magnetic particle trapping and subsequent mode coalescing are seen. Magnetic field energy is seen to reach 10% of the total particle energy. The different electromagnetic simulation methods are compared.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
