Three-dimensional accelerating electromagnetic waves.
We present a general theory of three-dimensional non-paraxial spatially-accelerating waves of the Maxwell equations. These waves constitute a two-dimensional structure exhibiting shape-invariant propagation along semicircular trajectories. We provide classification and characterization of possible shapes of such beams, expressed through the angular spectra of parabolic, oblate and prolate spher...
متن کاملOn the stability of accelerating relativistic shock waves
We consider the corrugation instability of the self–similar flow with an accelerating shock in the highly relativistic regime. We derive the correct dispersion relation for the proper modes in the self–similar regime, and conclude that this solution is unstable. Subject headings: hydrodynamics – shock waves – self-similar solutions
متن کاملOn electromagnetic instabilities at ultra-relativistic shock waves
Recent work on Fermi acceleration at ultra-relativistic shock waves has demonstrated the need for strong amplification of the background magnetic field on very short scales. Amplification of the magnetic field by several orders of magnitude has also been suggested by observations of gamma-ray bursts afterglows, both in downstream and upstream plasmas. This paper addresses this issue of magnetic...
متن کاملA relativistic beam-plasma system with electromagnetic waves
A nonlinear multiwave model that describes the interaction of an electron beam, plasma waves, and electromagnetic waves in a cold plasma is derived and studied. The derivation, which is based on slow amplitude and phase change approximations, begins with the electromagnetic Lagrangian coupled to an electron beam, a background plasma, and electrostatic and electromagnetic waves. The model obtain...
متن کاملDouble Relativistic Electron Accelerating Mirror
In the present paper, the possibility of generation of thin dense relativistic electron layers is shown using the analytical and numerical modeling of laser pulse interaction with ultra-thin layers. It was shown that the maximum electron energy can be gained by optimal tuning between the target width, intensity and laser pulse duration. The optimal parameters were obtained from a self-consisten...
