On plasma wave instabilities induced by neutrinos
نویسنده
چکیده
Quantum field theory is applied to study the interaction of an electron plasma with an intense neutrino flux. A connection is established between the field theory results and classical kinetic theory. The dispersion relation and damping rate of the plasma longitudinal waves are derived in the presence of neutrinos. It is shown that Supernova neutrinos are never collimated enough to cause non-linear effects associated with a neutrino resonance. They only induce neutrino Landau damping, linearly proportional to the neutrino flux and G2F. PACS numbers: 13.15.+g, 14.60.Lm, 97.60.Bw

2 00 1 Instabilities in neutrino - plasma density waves
One examines the interaction and possible resonances between supernova neutrinos and electron plasma waves. The neutrino phase space distribution and its boundary regions are analyzed in detail. It is shown that the boundary regions are too wide to produce non-linear resonant effects. The growth or damping rates induced by neutrinos are always proportional to the neutrino flux and G 2 F .

متن کاملElectromagnetic Wave Propagation in the Relativistic Regime
An electromagnetic wave is expected to propagate through an overdense plasma, provided that its amplitude is large enough to bring the electron motion into the relativistic regime. We study this induced transparency by using 1D and 2D particle simulations. We find that large chaotic longitudinal electric fields are generated and strong plasma heating takes place during the propagation. This beh...
متن کاملLangmuir Wave Generation Through A Neutrino Beam Instability
A standard version of a kinetic instability for the generation of Langmuir waves by a beam of electrons is adapted to describe the analogous instability due to a beam of neutrinos. The interaction between a Langmuir wave and a neutrino is treated in the one-loop approximation to lowest order in an expansion in 1/M W in the standard electroweak model. It is shown that this kinetic instability is...
متن کاملSection 2 PROGRESS IN LASER FUSION 2.A Parametric Instabilities Driven by Two Pumps in Laser-Fusion Plasmas
Parametric instabilities of importance to laser-plasma interactions in laserfusion experiments are usually analyzed assuming only one laser beam (pump) drives each instability. In actual experiments, however, multiple laser beams may overlap in a localized region of the fusion target corona, where parametric instabillties may be driven by more than one pump. In the simplest case, shown in Fig. ...
