Studies of Strongly Coupled Plasmas at the Future FAIR Facility

چکیده
Strongly coupled plasmas are ubiquitous in nature as they are found in stars, brown dwarfs and giant planets. A study of the physical properties of such plasmas in the laboratory is therefore of great importance to our understanding of the universe. Another very important problem associated with strongly coupled plasmas is the slowing down of charged particles in such systems. It has been theoretically predicted that stopping power of strongly coupled plasmas will be lower than that of ideal plasmas. This could have very important implications on inertial confinement fusion target design.

We consider a new type of integrable coupled nonlinear Schrodinger (CNLS)equations proposed by our self [submitted to Phys. Plasmas (2011)]. The explicitform of soliton solutions are derived using the Hirota's bilinear method.We show that the parameters in the CNLS equations only determine the regionsfor the existence of bright and dark soliton solutions. Finally, throughthe linear stability an...
متن کاملMicroscopic dynamics in two-dimensional strongly-coupled dusty plasmas
A strongly-coupled plasma is a collection of free charged particles that interact with a Coulomb repulsion that is so strong that nearby particles do not easily move past one another. Unlike weakly-coupled plasmas, strongly-coupled plasmas exhibit a self-organization of particles into an arrangement like a solid crystalline lattice or a liquid. Dusty plasmas consist of micron-size particles of ...
متن کاملNon-linear charge reduction effect in strongly-coupled plasmas
The charge reduction effect, produced by the nonlinear Debye screening of high-Z charges occuring in strongly-coupled plasmas, is investigated. An analytic asymptotic expression is obtained for the charge reduction factor (fc) which determines the Debye-Hückel potential generated by a charged test particle. Its relevant parametric dependencies are analyzed and shown to predict a strong charge r...
