Robust exponential acceleration in time-dependent billiards.
A class of nonrelativistic particle accelerators in which the majority of particles gain energy at an exponential rate is constructed. The class includes ergodic billiards with a piston that moves adiabatically and is removed adiabatically in a periodic fashion. The phenomenon is robust: deformations that keep the chaotic character of the billiard retain the exponential energy growth. The growt...
متن کاملFermi acceleration in non-autonomous billiards
Fermi acceleration can be modelled by a classical particle moving inside a time-dependent domain and elastically reflecting from its boundary. In this paper we describe how the results from the Dynamical System theory can be used to explain the existence of trajectories with unbounded energy. In particular, we show for slowly oscillating boundaries that the energy of the particle may increase e...
متن کاملA consistent approach for the treatment of Fermi acceleration in time-dependent billiards.
The standard description of Fermi acceleration, developing in a class of time-dependent billiards, is given in terms of a diffusion process taking place in momentum space. Within this framework, the evolution of the probability density function (PDF) of the magnitude of particle velocities as a function of the number of collisions n is determined by the Fokker-Planck equation (FPE). In the lite...
متن کاملSuppressing Fermi acceleration in two-dimensional driven billiards.
We consider a dissipative oval-like shaped billiard with a periodically moving boundary. The dissipation considered is proportional to a power of the velocity V of the particle. The three specific types of power laws used are: (i) F∝-V ; (ii) F∝-V(2) and (iii) F∝-V(δ) with 1<δ<2 . In the course of the dynamics of the particle, if a large initial velocity is considered, case (i) shows that the d...
متن کاملFermi acceleration and adiabatic invariants for non-autonomous billiards.
Recent results concerned with the energy growth of particles inside a container with slowly moving walls are summarized, augmented, and discussed. For breathing bounded domains with smooth boundaries, it is proved that for all initial conditions the acceleration is at most exponential. Anosov-Kasuga averaging theory is reviewed in the application to the non-autonomous billiards, and the results...
