The plasma wave acceleration of electron in the bubble regime is investigated in a new configuration containing a planar wiggler. The space-charge field of the laser-created ion channel can focuse and stabilize the electron trajectory to guide it toward the acceleration region. The high-gradient plasma wave field can resonantly accelerate the trapped electron to higher energies in the presence ...

We show that a modified form of the semiclassical coupled wave theory gives a reliable description of wave propagation in a 1D photonic crystal with complex refractive index. The key idea of the theory remains the same: to include both variable amplitudes and variable (geometric-optics) phases in the counterpropagating coupled waves within the photonic crystal. Here, however, the phases become ...

We present a simple iterative scheme to solve numerically a regularized internal wave model describing the large amplitude motion of the interface between two layers of different densities. Compared with the original strongly nonlinear internal wave model of Miyata [10] and Choi and Camassa [2], the regularized model adopted here suppresses shear instability associated with a velocity jump acro...

An investigation of reflection and transmission phenomena of plane longitudinal wave from a plane interface between two distinct micropolar porous elastic solid half-spaces in welded contact has been made. Using the method of potentials, the appropriate boundary conditions at the interface are solved to obtain the amplitudes of various reflected and transmitted waves. It has been noticed that t...

When an ultrasonic wave is incident on a water/solid interface generally three waves are excited in the solid: one longitudinal and two shear. The complex amplitudes of the transmitted waves depend on the material properties and the angle of incidence. At incident angles higher than the first critical angle an evanescent longitudinal wave is excited near the surface. To satisfy the boundary con...

We prove nonlinear stability of viscous shock wave of arbitrary amplitudes to a one-dimensional compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes equations with density dependent viscosity. Under the assumption that the viscous coefficient is given as a power function of density, any viscous shock wave is shown to be nonlinear stable for small initial perturbations with integral zero. In contrast to previo...

Solutions for interfacial waves of permanent form in the presence of a current wcre obtained for small-to-moderate wave amplitudes. A weakly nonlinear approximation was used to give simplc analytical solutions to second order in wave height. Numerical methods were usctl to obtain solutions for larger wave amplitudes, details are reported for a number of sclccted cases. A special class of finite...

Assuming the proton’s light-cone wave function to be dominated by small parton virtualities and small intrinsic transverse momenta, we show that the electroproduction amplitudes at large momentum transfer factorize into parton-level subprocess amplitudes and form factors representing 1/xmoments of skewed parton distributions. On the basis of a wave function overlap model for the form factors we...

OBJECTIVE Recently, "hidden hearing loss" with cochlear synaptopathy has been suggested as a potential pathophysiology of tinnitus in individuals with a normal hearing threshold. Several studies have demonstrated that subjects with tinnitus and normal audiograms show significantly reduced auditory brainstem response (ABR) wave I amplitudes compared with control subjects, but normal wave V ampli...

Simultaneous effects of slip and heat transfer on peristaltic transport of an incompressible electrically conducting viscous fluid  in an  asymmetric channel is studied under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynold number .The  asymmetry is produced by choosing the peristaltic wave train on the walls to have different amplitudes and phase.Exect solutions for stream function,velocity ...
