Particle Acceleration by Mhd Turbulence
Recent advances in understanding of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence call for revisions in the picture of particle acceleration. We make use of the recently established scaling of slow and fast MHD modes in strong and weak MHD turbulence to provide a systematic study of particle acceleration in magnetic pressure (low-β) and gaseous pressure (high-β) dominated plasmas. We consider the accele...
متن کاملParticle acceleration by electromagnetic waves.
We consider the symmetry in the interaction of photons and electrons, which has led to a common description of electron and photon accelerations; effects such as photon Landau damping arise naturally from such a treatment. Intense electromagnetic waves can act as a photon mirror to charged particles. The subsequent acceleration is equivalent to the photon pulse accelerating electrons. During th...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Waves and Their Application to Charged Particle Acceleration
A wave is a disturbance that propagates through space and time, usually with the transference of energy from one point to another without permanent displacement of particles of the medium. The particles under this situation only oscillate about their equilibrium positions. If the particles oscillate in the direction of wave propagation, then the wave is called longitudinal wave. However, if the...
متن کاملParticle Acceleration by an Electromagnetic Wave
The relativistic equation of motion for an electrically charged massive point particle is integrated exactly for the case of a circularly polarized electromagnetic plane wave.The acceleration of the particle by the wave is calculated in detail, however, under neglection of the radiation damping. In spite of this simplification, the results are applied to a typical pulsar, where the maximum kine...
متن کاملUnlimited Acceleration of a Charged Particle by an Electromagnetic Wave with a Purely Transverse Electric Field
It is shown that a charged particle can be trapped in a magnetic neutral sheet produced by the combination of a static magnetic field B 0 and an electromagnetic wave propagating perpendicularly to B0 with its magnetic field component parallel to B0. The neutral sheet as well as the trapped particle moves with the phase velocity ofthe wave and the trapped particle feels a constant force. Once th...
