Parametric excitation of Alfven waves by gravitational radiation
We consider the parametric excitation of Alfven waves by gravitational radiation propagating on a Minkowski background, parallel to an external magnetic field. As a starting point, standard ideal magnetohydrodynamics equations incorporating the curvature of space-time has been derived. The growth rate of the Alfven waves has been calculated, using the normal-mode approach. Various astrophysical...
متن کاملBeat-wave excitation of plasma waves based on relativistic bistability.
A nonlinear beat-wave regime of plasma wave excitation is considered. Two beat-wave drivers are considered: intensity-modulated laser pulse and density-modulated (microbunched) electron beam. It is shown that a long beat-wave pulse can excite strong plasma waves in its wake even when the beat-wave frequency is detuned from the electron plasma frequency. The wake is caused by the dynamic bistabi...
متن کاملCardiac beat-to-beat alternations driven by unusual spiral waves.
Alternans, a beat-to-beat temporal alternation in the sequence of heartbeats, is a known precursor of the development of cardiac fibrillation, leading to sudden cardiac death. The equally important precursor of cardiac arrhythmias is the rotating spiral wave of electro-mechanical activity, or reentry, on the heart tissue. Here, we show that these two seemingly different phenomena can have a rem...
متن کاملFast Compressional Alfven Waves in a Tokamak
Enhancement of cyclotron damping is theoretically evaluated based upon the wave E-field polarization which is modified by the two-ion hybrid resonance. The degree of enhancement and its asymmetry about the plasma center is consistent with experimental observations. The enhancement factor is very large at low plasma densities at which most of the past damping strength measurements have been repo...
متن کاملOn the Dynamics of Alfvén Eigenmode Excitation
Alfvén eigenmodes (AEs) excited by fast ions can cause losses of fast ions in thermonuclear experiments. To describe the dynamics of the AE excitation, it is necessary to include the decorrelation of the AE interactions and the renewal of the distribution function in the unstable regions on time scales that are short compared to the decorrelation time. For simulation of AE excitation for finite...
