Numerical studies of driven, chirped Bernstein, Greene, and Kruskal modes
Recent experiments showed the possibility of creating long-lived, nonlinear kinetic structures in a pure-electron plasma. These structures, responsible for large-amplitude periodic density fluctuations, were induced by driving the plasma with a weak oscillating drive, whose frequency was adiabatically decreased in time fW. Bertsche, J. Fajans, and L. Friedland, Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 265003 s2003...
متن کاملBernstein-Greene-Kruskal modes in a three-dimensional plasma.
Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal modes in a three-dimensional (3D) unmagnetized plasma are constructed. It is shown that 3D solutions that depend only on energy do not exist. However, 3D solutions that depend on energy and additional constants of motion (such as angular momentum) do exist. Exact analytical as well as numerical solutions are constructed assuming spherical symmetry, and their properties ...
متن کاملUltra-relativistic electrostatic Bernstein waves
A new general form of the dispersion relation for electrostatic Bernstein waves in ultra-relativistic pair plasmas, characterized by a−1 = kBT/(mec) 1, is derived in this paper. The parameter Sp = a 0/ωp, where 0 is the rest cyclotron frequency for electrons or positrons and ωp is the electron (or positron) plasma frequency, plays a crucial role in characterizing these waves. In particular, Sp ...
متن کاملConstruction of traveling clusters in the Hamiltonian mean-field model by nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal waves.
Traveling clusters are ubiquitously observed in the Hamiltonian mean-field model for a wide class of initial states, which are not predicted to become spatially inhomogeneous states by nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and by nonlinear Landau damping. To predict such a cluster state from a given initial state, we combine nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and a construction method of Berns...
متن کاملWeakly collisional Landau damping and three-dimensional Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal modes: New results on old problems
Landau damping and Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal BGK modes are among the most fundamental concepts in plasma physics. While the former describes the surprising damping of linear plasma waves in a collisionless plasma, the latter describes exact undamped nonlinear solutions of the Vlasov equation. There does exist a relationship between the two: Landau damping can be described as the phase mixing of ...
