The ponderomotive Lorentz force

Magnetoelectric Ponderomotive Force

The dynamics of a system consisting of a matter continuum with a weak linear magnetoelectric coupling interacting with electromagnetic fields is examined on a local scale in a nonrelativistic limit. A consistent expression for the internal energy of the system is derived. The internal energy density and the continuity equation for the momentum lead to the derivation of ponderomotive forces. A n...

The action of neutrino ponderomotive force on Supernova dynamics

Collective interactions of a beam of neutrinos/antineutrinos traversing a dense magnetized plasma of electrons/positrons, protons and neutrons are studied with particular reference to the case of a Supernova. We find that the ponderomotive force exerted by neutrinos gives, contrary to expectations, a negligible contribution to the revival of the shock for a successful Supernova explosion, altho...

Gravitational Lorentz Force

In quantum gauge theory of gravity, the gravitational field is represented by gravitational gauge field. The field strength of gravitational gauge field has both gravitoelectric component and gravitomagnetic component. In classical level, gauge theory of gravity gives out classical Newtonian gravitational interactions in a relativistic form. Besides, it gives out gravitational Lorentz force whi...

Multiple Scale Derivation of the Relativistic Ponderomotive Force

24 LLE Review, Volume 69 The ponderomotive force associated with a light wave of variable amplitude1–10 drives many phenomena that occur in inertial confinement fusion11 and particle acceleration12 experiments. The existing formula for the ponderomotive force was derived under the assumption that the quiver speed of electrons oscillating in the applied electric field is much less than the speed...
