Particle acceleration by stimulated emission of radiation: theory and experiment.
The interaction of electromagnetic radiation with free electrons in the presence of an active medium has some appealing outcomes. Among them is particle acceleration by stimulated emission of radiation (PASER). In its framework, energy stored in an active medium (microscopic cavities) is transferred directly to an e -beam passing through. We have developed a two-dimensional analytic model for t...
متن کاملParticle acceleration by ultra-relativistic shocks: theory and simulations
We consider the acceleration of charged particles near ultra-relativistic shocks, with Lorentz factor Γs 1. We present simulations of the acceleration process and compare these with results from semi-analytical calculations. We show that the spectrum that results from acceleration near ultra-relativistic shocks is a power law, N(E) ∝ E−s, with a nearly universal value s ≈ 2.2 − 2.3 for the slop...
متن کاملParticle Acceleration : Basic Issues
Cosmic-rays are ubiquitous, but their origins are surprisingly difficult to understand. A review is presented of some of the basic issues common to cosmic particle accelerators and arguments leading to the likely importance of diffusive shock acceleration as a general explanation. The basic theory of diffusive shock acceleration is outlined, followed by a discussion of some of the key issues th...
متن کاملParticle acceleration mechanisms
In this paper we review the possible mechanisms for production of non-thermal electrons which are responsible for the observed non-thermal radiation in clusters of galaxies. Our primary focus is on non-thermal Bremsstrahlung and inverse Compton scattering, that produce hard X-ray emission. We first give a brief review of acceleration mechanisms and point out that in most astrophysical situation...
متن کاملLaser-Based Particle Acceleration
Using state-of-the-art high-power laser systems, we are able to routinely generate extreme energy densities and focused light intensities in a controlled laboratory environment. During the interaction of these laser pulses with matter a plasma is generated that can both sustain and support huge electric fields. These can be used as a novel type of accelerator structure for electrons and ions ha...
