1 IF / P 7 - 23 Weibel Instability in a Bi - Maxwellian Laser Fusion Plasma
We are interested in this paper to analyse the Weibel instability driven by the plasma temperature anisotropy in the corona of a high intense laser created plasma. The unperturbed electronic distribution function, , of the anisotropic corona is supposed to be a bi-maxwellian. That // = + , where = is the averaged electron quiver energy in the laser electric field. The first and the second aniso...
متن کاملThe chromo-Weibel instability
I discuss the physics of non-Abelian plasmas which are locally anisotropic in momentum space. Such momentum-space anisotropies are generated by the rapid longitudinal expansion of the matter created in the first 1 fm/c of an ultrarelativistic heavy ion collision. In contrast to locally isotropic plasmas anisotropic plasmas have a spectrum of soft unstable modes which are characterized by expone...
متن کاملQuantum Weibel instability
The Weibel instability is analyzed for quantum plasmas described by the Wigner-Maxwell model. For a suitable class of electromagnetic potentials, the Wigner-Maxwell system is linearized yielding a general dispersion relation for transverse electromagnetic waves. For a double Gaussian equilibrium with temperature anisotropy, the derived dispersion relation generalizes the classical Weibel instab...
متن کاملWeibel-induced filamentation during an ultrafast laser-driven plasma expansion.
The development of current instabilities behind the front of a cylindrically expanding plasma has been investigated experimentally via proton probing techniques. A multitude of tubelike filamentary structures is observed to form behind the front of a plasma created by irradiating solid-density wire targets with a high-intensity (I ~ 10(19) W/cm(2)), picosecond-duration laser pulse. These filame...
متن کاملInfluence of the Weibel instability on the expansion of a plasma slab into a vacuum.
The development of the Weibel instability during the expansion of a thin plasma foil heated by an intense laser pulse is investigated, using both analytical models and relativistic particle-in-cell simulations. When the plasma has initially an anisotropic electron distribution, this electromagnetic instability develops from the beginning of the expansion. Then it contributes to suppress the ani...
