Pair production in thermal plasmas: a computer model
نویسنده
چکیده
A computer code has been developed to follow the processes of electronpositron pair production, annihilation, bremsstrahlung and Comptonization in a slab of mildly relativistic thermal plasma. The resulting equilibrium solutions are compared with the semi-analytic calculations of Svensson[1] .

Transrelativistic pair plasmas in AGN jets
Models of relativistic jets filled with ultrarelativistic pair plasma have turned out to be very suitable to explain the broadband radiation of γ-ray blazars. Given the initial injection and cooling of ultrarelativistic pair plasma in an AGN jet has occurred, producing the observed high-energy γ-ray radiation, we investigate the further evolution of the pair plasma as it continues to move out f...
متن کاملModulational instability of dust ion acoustic waves in astrophysical dusty plasmas with non thermal electrons
Propagation of dust ion acoustic waves in plasmas composed of nonthermal distributed electrons and stationary dust particles is investigated. Nonlinear Schrdinger equation is derived to describe small amplitude waves, using the reduction perturbation technique. Modulation instability of dust ion acoustic waves is analysed for this system. Parametric investigation indicates that growth rate of...

متن کاملSome properties of magnetized pair plasmas
Three aspects of the physics of pair plasmas are discussed. The main emphasis is on the properties of waves in cold, magnetized pair plasmas, where it is shown that the inclusion of an admixture of positrons introduces an additional ‘cyclotron mode’ into the magneto-ionic theory. Thermal effects on these waves are described. The quadratic nonlinear response and the fluid description of a pair p...
متن کاملHydrogen pair-ion production by catalytic ionization
Pair plasmas consisting of only positiveand negative-charge particles of equal mass have attracted special attention because they maintain space-time symmetry. A fullerene pair-ion plasma, consisting of positive and negative ions of equal mass (C60 and C60), has been generated and its collective phenomena have been investigated experimentally [1]. In order to investigate more extensive physical...
