Self-consistent chaos in the beam-plasma instability
The effect of self-consistency on Hamiltonian systems with a large number of degrees of freedom is investigated for the beam-plasma instability using the single-wave model of O’Neil, Winfrey, and Malmberg. The single-wave model is reviewed and then rederived within the Hamiltonian context, which leads naturally to canonical action-angle variables. Simulations are performed with a large (1 04) n...
متن کاملAcceleration of electrons by the interaction of a bunched electron beam with a plasma.
A new scheme for accelerating electrons, employing a bunched relativistic electron beam in a cold plasma, is analyzed. We show that energy gradients can exceed 1 GeV/m and that the driven electrons can be accelerated from remc2 to 37emc2 before the driving beam slows down enough to degrade the plasma wave. If the driving electrons are removed before they cause the collapse of the plasma wave, e...
متن کاملMagnetic field generation from self-consistent collective neutrino-plasma interactions
A Lagrangian formalism for self-consistent collective neutrino-plasma interactions is presented in which each neutrino species is described as a classical ideal fluid. The neutrino-plasma fluid equations are derived from a covariant relativistic variational principle in which finite-temperature effects are retained. This formalism is then used to investigate the generation of magnetic fields an...
متن کاملSelf-consistent analysis of the effect of runaway electrons
Physical and computational models are developed, used and benchmarked for studying the response of ITER tokamak plasma facing components to runaway electron impact following a plasma disruption. The energy deposition, temperature evolution and material melting thickness are calculated for a wide range of runaway electron parameters, namely, electron kinetic energy, magnetic field, energy partit...
متن کامل1D PIC simulation study of nonlinear beam plasma interaction
Since the early days of plasma simulation studies, superthermal electrons having energies much greater than the injected beam electrons have been widespreadly observed. The origin of such superthermal tail in the electron velocity distribution is generally believed due to the second order Fermi acceleration, i.e., the acceleration due to turbulence. In this paper, generation of superthermal ele...
