A Ponderomotive Guiding Center Particle-in-Cell Code for Efficient Modeling of Laser–Plasma Interactions
A novel particle simulation code is described that self-consistently models certain classes of laser–plasma interactions without resolving the optical cycles of the laser. This is accomplished by separating the electromagnetic field into a laser component and a wake component. Although the wake component is treated as in a fully explicit particle-in-cell (PIC) code, the laser component is treat...
متن کاملPonderomotive force of quasi-particles in a plasma
We derive the force exerted in the background plasma by an arbitrary distribution of non interacting quasi-particles, corresponding to either collective excitations of the plasma (plasmons, phonons) or dressed particles (photons, neutrinos). Our approach is based on the effective Hamiltonian describing the quasi-classical dynamics of the individual particles in the presence of a background medi...
متن کاملMagnetoelectric Ponderomotive Force
The dynamics of a system consisting of a matter continuum with a weak linear magnetoelectric coupling interacting with electromagnetic fields is examined on a local scale in a nonrelativistic limit. A consistent expression for the internal energy of the system is derived. The internal energy density and the continuity equation for the momentum lead to the derivation of ponderomotive forces. A n...

متن کاملRelativistic reversal of the ponderomotive force in a standing laser wave
collinear configuration, in which the laser wave is linearly polarized with electric field E parallel to the initial electron momentum p 0, is the optimal configuration for the relativistic reversal. In that case, the transverse PF reverses its direction when the incident momentum is p0=mc. The reversal effect vanishes in the cases of circular and linear with E p 0 polarizations. We have discov...
