Debye-scale solitary structures measured in a beam-plasma laboratory experiment
Solitary electrostatic pulses have been observed in numerous places of the magnetosphere such as the vicinity of reconnection current sheets, shocks or auroral current systems, and are often thought to be generated by energetic electron beams. We present results of a series of experiments conducted at the UCLA large plasma device (LAPD) where a suprathermal electron beam was injected parallel t...
متن کاملElectron Beam Generated Solitary Structures in a Nonuniform Plasma System
Recent observations by the FAST satellite have identified numerous occurrences in the downward auroral current region of fast solitary structures with a characteristic size of a few local Debye lengths. We utilize a 2.5D electrostatic particle-in-cell code to investigate the generation of such structures by the interaction of narrow energetic electron beams with a gravitationally-bound exponent...
متن کاملLaboratory measurements of electrostatic solitary structures generated by beam injection.
Electrostatic solitary structures are generated by injection of a suprathermal electron beam parallel to the magnetic field in a laboratory plasma. Electric microprobes with tips smaller than the Debye length (λDe) enabled the measurement of positive potential pulses with half-widths 4 to 25λDe and velocities 1 to 3 times the background electron thermal speed. Nonlinear wave packets of similar ...
متن کاملNonlinear Solitary Structures of Electron Plasma Waves in a Finite Temperature Quantum Plasma
Nonlinear solitary structures of electron plasma waves have been investigated by using nonlinear quantum fluid equations for electrons with an arbitrary temperature. It is shown that the electron degeneracy parameter has significant effects on the linear and nonlinear properties of electron plasma waves. Depending on its value both compressive and rarefactive solitons can be excited in the mode...
متن کاملDebye Screening in the Qcd Plasma
Various definitions for the QCD Debye mass and its evaluation are reviewed in a non-perturabtive framework for the study of screening of general static sources. While it is possible to perturbatively integrate over scales ∼ T and thus construct a 3d effective theory, the softer scales ∼ gT and ∼ gT are strongly coupled for temperatures < ∼ 10 GeV and require lattice simulations. Within the effe...
