Compton-driven beam formation and magnetization via plasma microinstabilities

چکیده
Compton scattering of gamma rays propagating in a pair plasma can drive the formation relativistic electron positron beam. This process is scrutinized theoretically and numerically via particle-in-cell simulations. In addition, we determine which conditions beam prompt beam-plasma instability convert its kinetic energy into magnetic energy. We argue that such be met at photosphere radius bright gamma-ray bursts.

I. Introduction Understanding the origin of magnetic fields in cosmic and laser produced plasmas has been of great theoretical as well as experimental interest [1–3]. The generation of seed magnetic fields in the early universe is a long-standing mystery in astrophysics. A very weak magnetic field (typically of the order of one to thirty microgauss) in the early universe has been of much intere...
متن کاملPhoton plasma–wave interaction via Compton scattering
The Kompaneets theory of photon kinetic evolution due to the Compton effect in the absence of absorption and emission is extended to the case of the Vlasov plasma wave oscillations. Under the assumption that the electron distribution function at equilibrium is perturbed by a solution of the linearised Vlasov equation in the long-wavelength limit, a solution of the Kompaneets kinetic equation fo...

Beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration using low-ionization-threshold gas such as Li is combined with laser-controlled electron injection via ionization of high-ionization-threshold gas such as He. The He electrons are released with low transverse momentum in the focus of the copropagating, nonrelativistic-intensity laser pulse directly inside the accelerating or focusing phase of the Li blo...

متن کاملQuasilinear Transport Fluxes Driven by Electrostatic Microinstabilities in Tokamaks
Abstract Quasilinear transport fluxes driven by microinstabilites in weakly-collisional tokamak plasmas are calculated by a semi-analytical approach based on a solution of the gyrokinetic equation, where collisions are modelled by a Lorentz operator. Scalings with collisionality, magnetic drift frequency, diamagnetic frequency and ratio of the density and temperature scale lengths have been det...
