Electric cloud and weather modification with intense relativistic electron beams

Single Pulse Emittance Measurement Technique for Intense Relativistic Electron Beams

Intense Electron and Ion Beams

Material characteristics versus the number of electrons in the valence atom shell not used in the previously published papers are presented here. The electric field interaction with the collective electrons and the ion skeletons of the electrode material result in the initiation of the plasma formation (ecton) on the surface of one of the electrodes and the breakdown of the interelectrode gap. ...

Relativistic electron beams above thunderclouds

Non-luminous relativistic electron beams above thunderclouds have been detected by the radio signals of low frequency ∼40–400 kHz which they radiate. The electron beams occur ∼2–9 ms after positive cloud-to-ground lightning discharges at heights between ∼22–72 km above thunderclouds. Intense positive lightning discharges can also cause sprites which occur either above or prior to the electron b...

Cooling of relativistic electron beams in intense laser pulses: chirps and radiation

Next-generation high-power laser facilities (such as the Extreme Light Infrastructure) will provide unprecedented field intensities, and will allow us to probe qualitatively new physical regimes for the first time. One of the important fundamental questions which will be addressed is particle dynamics when radiation reaction and quantum effects play a significant role. Classical theories of rad...

Study of Hypernuclei with Intense Electron-Photon Beams

In this letter, we propose to investigate Λ hypernuclei for the A 15 mass region by using pionic decay. The Project aims to determine precisely the binding energies of light hypernuclei, investigate production of exotic hypernuclei, and study impurity nuclear physics and the medium effect of baryons. ≤ These investigations will fully utilize the unique parameters (high intensity, small emittanc...
