Parametric excitation of Alfven waves by gravitational radiation
We consider the parametric excitation of Alfven waves by gravitational radiation propagating on a Minkowski background, parallel to an external magnetic field. As a starting point, standard ideal magnetohydrodynamics equations incorporating the curvature of space-time has been derived. The growth rate of the Alfven waves has been calculated, using the normal-mode approach. Various astrophysical...
متن کاملExcitation of Chirping Whistler Waves in a Laboratory Plasma.
Whistler mode chorus emissions with a characteristic frequency chirp are important magnetospheric waves, responsible for the acceleration of outer radiation belt electrons to relativistic energies and also for the scattering loss of these electrons into the atmosphere. Here, we report on the first laboratory experiment where whistler waves exhibiting fast frequency chirping have been artificial...
متن کاملDetection of Whistler Waves
A whistler wave is a very low frequency electromagnetic wave generated by lightning discharges. As the electromagnetic wave travels through the plasma environments of the ionosphere and magnetosphere, it undergoes dispersion of a several thousand kilohertz. Because the propagation velocity decreases with frequency, the lower frequency components of the wave arrive later than the higher frequenc...
متن کاملParametric sound fields by phasecancellation excitation of primary waves
By radiating bifrequency primary waves from two ultrasonic emitters with changing the phases of the primary waves, we can obtain the sound fields that are different from the usual inphase excitation. Especially, for the excitation of out-phase by 180 degrees the difference frequency wave has the directivity of almost uniformity near the acoustic axis. Additionally, the sound pressure levels of ...
متن کاملParametric excitation of plasma waves by gravitational radiation
We consider the parametric excitation of a Langmuir wave and an electromagnetic wave by gravitational radiation, in a thin plasma on a Minkowski background. We calculate the coupling coe cients starting from a kinetic description, and the growth rate of the instability is found. The Manley Rowe relations are ful lled only in the limit of a cold plasma. As a consequence, it is generally di cult ...
