Nonlinear optics in relativistic plasmas.
We review our recent work on the various nonlinear optical processes that occur as an intense laser propagates through a relativistic plasma. These include the experimental observations of electron acceleration driven by laser-wakefield generation, relativistic self-focusing, waveguide formation and laser self-channeling.
متن کاملAnalysis of the Relaxed States in the Rotating Plasmas with no Momentum Input
Plasma rotation has many beneficial effects on tokamak operation including stabilization of MHD modes and suppression of microturbulence to sustain high beta equilibria and improve energy confinement. Plasma rotation has been observed in NBI, ICRF heated plasmas as well as in pure Ohmic plasma, in which case there is no momentum input. In this paper, the relaxed state with a mass flow but no mo...
متن کاملDispersion Relations in Ultradegenerate Relativistic Plasmas
The propagation of excitation modes in a relativistic ultradegenerate plasma is modified by their interactions with the medium. These modifications can be computed by evaluating their on-shell self-energy, which gives (gaugeindependent) dispersion relations. For modes with momentum close to the Fermi momentum, the one-loop fermion self-energy is dominated by a diagram with a soft photon in the ...
متن کاملInverse bremsstrahlung in relativistic quantum plasmas.
We study the absorption of an intense electromagnetic wave in a plasma by inverse bremsstrahlung, in the relativistic quantum regime, by using the Klein-Gordon (KG) equation. We examine the following points: (1) the solutions of the KG equation in the absence of collisions; (2) the transition probabilities between electron momentum states, and (3) the effective collision frequency in the weak a...
متن کاملTearing instability in relativistic magnetically dominated plasmas
Many astrophysical sources of high energy emission, such as black hole magnetospheres, superstrongly magnetized neutron stars (magnetars), and probably relativistic jets in Active Galactic Nuclei and Gamma Ray Bursts involve relativistically magnetically dominated plasma. In such plasma the energy density of magnetic field greatly exceeds the thermal and the rest mass energy density of particle...
