Efficiency of Current Drive by Fast Waves
The Rosenbluth form for the collision operator for a weakly relativistic plasma is derived. The formalism adopted by Antonsen and Chu can then be used to calculate the efficiency of current drive by fast waves in a relativistic plasma. Accurate numerical results and analytic asymptotic limits for the efficiencies are given.
متن کاملImplication of Quantum Effects on Non-Linear Propagation of Electron Plasma Solitons
We have studied the electron exchange-correlation effect on thecharacteristics of the two-component unmagnetized dense quantum plasma withstreaming motion. For this purpose, we have used the quantum hydrodynamic model(including the effects of a quantum statistical Fermi electron temperature) for studyingthe propagation of an electrostatic electron plasma waves in such th...
متن کاملElectrostatic Solitary Waves in Multicomponent Nonthermal Plasma
A systematic investigation has been made of ion-acoustic solitary waves in plasma consisting of cold positively and negatively charged ions, as well as nonthermal electrons. The basic features of the solitary waves are investigated by using the reductive perturbation method, which is valid for the small but finite amplitude waves. Computational investigations have been performed to examine the ...
متن کاملMagnetic Field Evolution in Relativistic Unmagnetized Collisionless Shocks
We study relativistic unmagnetized collisionless shocks using unprecedentedly large particle-in-cell simulations of two-dimensional pair plasma. High energy particles accelerated by the shock are found to drive magnetic field evolution on a timescale & 10 plasma times. Progressively stronger magnetic fields are generated on larger scales in a growing region around the shock. Shock-generated mag...
متن کاملRelativistic Collisionless Shocks in Unmagnetized Electron-positron Plasmas
It is shown that collisionless shock waves can be driven in unmagnetized electron-positron plasmas by performing a two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation. At the shock transition region, strong magnetic fields are generated by a Weibel-like instability. The generated magnetic fields are strong enough to deflect the incoming particles from upstream of the shock at a large angle and provide ...
