“…However, this process has never before been observed in a laboratory setting. Despite numerous experiments utilizing laser-produced plasmas to simulate space and astrophysical explosions 22 , including noteworthy recent studies that successfully generated magnetized collisionless shocks 23,24 and measured the electrostatic component of the electric field structure associated with an explosive plasma cloud 25,26 , none of these efforts examined the ion dynamics in sufficient detail to confirm Larmor coupling as a participating momentum exchange mechanism.…”

“…Its presence and influence should be visible by direct detection of the polarization field as in Ref. 33 or the asymmetric response of the ambient plasma across V m of the passing MLPP as is the case in Ref. 35.…”

“…Many are conducted such that the majority of debris is directed unilaterally away from the target and across the background magnetic field. 5,6,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] This configuration includes the presence of a polarization field, which arises from the center-of-mass motion of the expanding plasma. If the center-of-mass moves with velocity V m , then the polarization field has the approximate strength E pol ¼ ÀV m  B.…”

“…Over the last several decades, a number of such experiments have achieved significant progress by combining explosive, laser-produced debris plasmas with preformed, magnetized ambient plasmas. 18 Utilizing this configuration, recent investigations have successfully driven magnetized collisionless shocks into the ambient plasma [19][20][21] and measured the electrostatic electric field structures associated with the explosive debris plasma cloud, 22,23 providing indirect evidence of the collisionless debris-ambient interaction. However, none of these efforts examined the ion dynamics in sufficient detail to directly verify collisionless coupling through the laminar electric field structure proposed by the previous theoretical and numerical studies.…”
