Bernstein modes in a weakly relativistic electron-positron plasma.
The form of the propagating electrostatic Bernstein mode in a relativistic electron-positron plasma is markedly different from that in the classical plasma, once the momentum-dependent cyclotron frequency is accounted for in full inside the integrations. Given that particles in different parts of momentum space "see" a different cyclotron frequency, there is no simple global singularity which r...
متن کاملRelativistic particle acceleration in an electron-positron plasma with a relativistic electron beam
Results from three-dimensional electromagnetic particle simulations of an electron-positron plasma with a relativistic electron beam (y=2) are presented. As part of the initial conditions, a poloidal magnetic field is specified, consistent with the current carried by the beam electrons. The beam undergoes pinching oscillations due to the pressure imbalance. A transverse two-stream instability i...
متن کاملAngular momenta creation in relativistic electron-positron plasma.
Creation of angular momentum in a relativistic electron-positron plasma is explored. It is shown that a chain of angular momentum carrying vortices is a robust asymptotic state sustained by the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation characteristic to the system. The results may suggest a possible electromagnetic origin of angular momenta when it is applied to the MeV epoch of the early Univ...
متن کاملA Laser-cooled Positron Plasma
We present results on trapping and cooling of positrons in a Penning trap. Positrons from a 2 mCi Na source travel along the axis of a 6 T magnet and through the trap after which they strike a Cu reflection moderator crystal. Up to a few thousand positrons are trapped and lose energy through Coulomb collisions (sympathetic cooling) with laser-cooled Be. By imaging the Be laser-induced fluoresce...
متن کاملElectron and Photon Production From Relativistic Laser-Plasma Interactions
The interaction of short and intense laser pulses with plasmas is a very efficient source of relativistic electrons with tunable properties. In low density plasmas, we observed bunches of electrons up to 200 MeV, accelerated in the wake field of the laser pulse. Less energetic electrons (tens of MeV) have been obtained, albeit with a higher efficiency, during the interaction with a solid target...
