Magnetic field generation in a jet-sheath plasma via the kinetic Kelvin-Helmholtz instability

We have investigated the generation of magnetic fields associated with velocity shear between an unmagnetized relativistic jet and an unmagnetized sheath plasma. We have examined the strong magnetic fields generated by kinetic shear (Kelvin–Helmholtz) instabilities. Compared to the previous stud...
