The collisionless deceleration of an ionized cloud dispersing in a uniform plasma in a magnetic field

Description

In this paper the authors use the two-dimensional hybrid model of Golubev and Solov'ev to treat the collisionless deceleration of a cloud of plasma from a point explosion. Assuming that the interaction of the cloud with the surrounding dilute plasma comes about through the rotational component of the electric field, they obtain the basic deceleration mechanisms. These are supported here by numerical calculations
