Particle-in-Cell simulations of the plasma and magnetic field evolution in the collision of two plasmas in an ambient magnetic field. Electron density (a, b, e, f) and magnetic field (c, d, g, h) pseudo-color images from the Particle-in-Cell simulations of two symmetric colliding plasma flows at different time moments after the beginning of the simulation (from left to right: 5, 15, 30, 60 ps), in the case where a uniform 25 Tesla external magnetic field is applied, note this is 25% higher than the 20 T used experimentally. Areal electron densities (integrated in the x direction) in the cases with (i) and without (j) applied magnetic field
