Free Electron Laser Operation in the Whistler Mode
The introduction of a strongly magnetized plasma in the inner region of a Free Electron Laser opens up the possibility of generating coherent radiation in the slow whistler mode using mildly relativistic electron beams. The frequency of emission, however, is limited to below the electron cyclotron frequency. The efficiency of the device can be enhanced by tapering the guide magnetic field.
متن کاملApplying the cold plasma dispersion relation to whistler mode chorus waves: EMFISIS wave measurements from the Van Allen Probes
Most theoretical wave models require the power in the wave magnetic field in order to determine the effect of chorus waves on radiation belt electrons. However, researchers typically use the cold plasma dispersion relation to approximate the magnetic wave power when only electric field data are available. In this study, the validity of using the cold plasma dispersion relation in this context i...
متن کاملDependence of the Sweep Rate of Whistler-mode Chorus Emissions on the Plasma Density
Whistler-mode chorus consists of intense electromagnetic wave packets generated by a nonlinear mechanism involving wave-particle interactions. Chorus wave packets are discrete frequency-time structures in a frequency range from a few hundreds of Hz to several kHz changing their frequency on a time scale from a few tenths of seconds to a few seconds. The source region of chorus emissions is loca...
متن کاملNumerical study of mode conversion between lower hybrid and whistler waves on short-scale density striations
[1] We present a theoretical and numerical study of linear mode conversion of lower hybrid waves interacting with short-scale density striations in the Earth’s ionosphere. The efficiency of the conversion process is investigated for different sets of parameters such as the angle of incidence, the wavelength of the lower hybrid wave, and the size of the striation. It is found that the most effic...
متن کاملEnhanced Phase Space Diffusion due to Chaos in Relativistic Electron - Whistler Mode Wave Particle Interactions with Applications
Using numerical solutions of single particle dynamics, we consider a chaotic electron-whistler interaction mechanism for enhanced diffusion in phase space. This process, when applied to parameters consistent with the Jovian magnetosphere, is a candidate mechanism for pitch angle scattering in the Io torus, thus providing a source of auroral precipitating electrons. We initially consider the int...
