1 IF / P 7 - 23 Weibel Instability in a Bi - Maxwellian Laser Fusion Plasma
We are interested in this paper to analyse the Weibel instability driven by the plasma temperature anisotropy in the corona of a high intense laser created plasma. The unperturbed electronic distribution function, , of the anisotropic corona is supposed to be a bi-maxwellian. That // = + , where = is the averaged electron quiver energy in the laser electric field. The first and the second aniso...
متن کاملThe chromo-Weibel instability
I discuss the physics of non-Abelian plasmas which are locally anisotropic in momentum space. Such momentum-space anisotropies are generated by the rapid longitudinal expansion of the matter created in the first 1 fm/c of an ultrarelativistic heavy ion collision. In contrast to locally isotropic plasmas anisotropic plasmas have a spectrum of soft unstable modes which are characterized by expone...
متن کاملQuantum Weibel instability
The Weibel instability is analyzed for quantum plasmas described by the Wigner-Maxwell model. For a suitable class of electromagnetic potentials, the Wigner-Maxwell system is linearized yielding a general dispersion relation for transverse electromagnetic waves. For a double Gaussian equilibrium with temperature anisotropy, the derived dispersion relation generalizes the classical Weibel instab...
متن کاملObservation of Electron Trapping in an Intense Laser Beam
180 LLE Review, Volume 79 Since the discovery of the ponderomotive force over 40 years ago, it has been known that charged particles interacting with an oscillating electromagnetic field will seek regions of low intensity.1 It was immediately proposed that with the appropriate field distribution, particles could be trapped with this force.2 The case of electron confinement with a specially shap...
متن کاملWeibel-induced filamentation during an ultrafast laser-driven plasma expansion.
The development of current instabilities behind the front of a cylindrically expanding plasma has been investigated experimentally via proton probing techniques. A multitude of tubelike filamentary structures is observed to form behind the front of a plasma created by irradiating solid-density wire targets with a high-intensity (I ~ 10(19) W/cm(2)), picosecond-duration laser pulse. These filame...
