Laboratory Astrophysics — Lab-to-Cosmos
Our signature capability. Scaled laser-plasma experiments recreate astrophysical phenomena — collisionless shocks, magnetic reconnection, jets and magnetic-field generation — in the lab. Few teams anywhere combine laser-plasma and astrophysical plasma expertise under one roof. We do.
Sound familiar?
- ●You want to design a laser experiment that is scaled to an astrophysical system.
- ●You need to translate lab results into astrophysical implications (or vice versa).
- ●Your collaboration needs both laser-plasma and astrophysics expertise.
What we offer
Scaling-law analysis
Dimensionless-parameter matching between laser experiments and astrophysical plasmas.
Shock & jet modelling
Collisionless shocks, Weibel-mediated shocks and plasma jets — kinetic simulations designed to match experiments.
Magnetogenesis & reconnection
Biermann battery, Weibel fields and laser-driven reconnection studies.
Frequently asked
Is this research or a service?+
Both. We work as a contracted modelling partner, and we are open to co-authored research collaborations where appropriate.
