Petaflop Plasma Physics: Pursuing Particle Paths

We present first results on radiative signatures of the Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability in relativistic streams. Large-scale simulations enable us to follow particle trajectories through turbulent plasma flows by computing the radiation of the charged particles inside the plasma. This allows imaging the plasma particle flow with unprecedented resolution by detecting the far field radiation coming from the plasma. Our results bring forward the understanding of the complex dynamics of plasmas especially in situations where direct plasma probing is impossible.
