Laser steering of particle beams: refraction and re#ection of particle beams
The co-propagation of an intense particle beam with an ionizing laser beam in a working gas/plasma is considered. When the axes of the laser and particle beam are not aligned, then asymmetric plasma lensing results in a net dipole "eld acting on the particle beam. The particle beam can be steered or bent (as well as focused) by steering the laser. An analogy is made between the bending of the p...
متن کاملParticle Refraction, Reflection and Channeling by Laser Beams
It is shown that the charged particles are refracted and reflected on the boundary of field free and laser field regions in vacuum. Simple and transparent estimates are given which show the possibility of channeling of charged and neutral particles having polarizability by strong electromagnetic field of certain laser bunches just as by the field of orientated crystalline planes and axes. These...
متن کاملSingle particle scattering with focused laser beams.
A scattering technique is described in which the incident laser beam is tightly focused to isolate the effects of a single particle. In this way the individual particles may be studied in their natural environment, and experiments with latex spheres are in agreement with the theory.
متن کاملCancer Therapy with Particle Beams
Particle beams, i.e. proton or ion beams, have a depth dose distribution with a maximum at the end of the particle track, which makes them exceptionally useful for radiosurgery, especially cancer treatment. This article gives a short summary of different types of radiation and points out the advantages of particle beams. It will then cover basic aspects of the theoretical description before exp...
متن کاملSolitary Waves in Particle Beams
Since space charge waves on a particle beam exhibit both dispersive and nonlinear character, solitary waves or solitons are possible. Dispersive, nonlinear wave propagation in high current beams is found to be similar to ion-acoustic waves in plasmas with an analogy between Debye screening and beam pipe shielding. Exact longitudinal solitary wave propagation is found for potentials associated w...
