(color online) Profiles of magnetic field and mass density at (a) 25 ns, (b) 35 ns, (c) 45 ns, and (d) 55 ns. The blue lines denote the magnetic field simulated by the PIC code, and the black lines represent the magnetic fields simulated by the MHD code where 1000 times the Spitzer resistivity is used. The red linesrefer to the mass density profiles simulated by the MHD code, and are also used to mark the place of the plasma shell.
