متن کاملIon acceleration by beating electrostatic waves: domain of allowed acceleration.
The conditions under which a magnetized ion can be accelerated through a nonlinear interaction with a pair of beating electrostatic waves are explored. It has been shown [Benisti et al., Phys. Plasma 5, 3224 (1998)] that the electric field of the beating waves can, under some conditions, accelerate ions from arbitrarily low initial velocity in stark contrast with the well-known nonlinear thresh...
متن کاملEffects of Ion Collisions on Ion Acceleration by Beating Electrostatic Waves
A numerical model of the nonlinear interaction between beating electrostatic waves and magnetized ions, including collisions, is presented. Previous studies of the beating electrostatic waves (BEW) interacting with a single ion showed the ability of this mechanism to accelerate ions from arbitrarily low initial velocities, and have revealed the fundamental conditions for this interaction to occ...
متن کاملIon Dynamics in Multiple Electrostatic Waves in a Magnetized Plasma
A general theoretical study of the dynamics of ions interacting with multiple elec-trostatic waves, propagating perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic field, is performed. For appropriately chosen frequencies and wavenumbers we discover a new nonlinear phenomenon of coherent acceleration (or deceleration) which energizes (or extracts energy from) ions. Ions whose initial energies are below the l...
متن کاملIon acceleration from laser-driven electrostatic shocks
Multi-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations are used to study the generation of electrostatic shocks in plasma and the reflection of background ions to produce high-quality and high-energy ion beams. Electrostatic shocks are driven by the interaction of two plasmas with different density and/or relative drift velocity. The energy and number of ions reflected by the shock increase with increa...
