Vortex solitons: mass, energy, and angular momentum bunching in relativistic electron-positron plasmas.
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is shown that the interaction of large amplitude electromagnetic waves with a hot electron-positron (e-p) plasma (a principal constituent of the universe in the MeV epoch) leads to a bunching of mass, energy, and angular momentum in stable, long-lived structures. Electromagnetism in the MeV epoch, then, could provide a possible route for seeding the observed large-scale structure of the universe.

متن کاملRelativistic Electron Vortices.
The desire to push recent experiments on electron vortices to higher energies leads to some theoretical difficulties. In particular the simple and very successful picture of phase vortices of vortex charge ℓ associated with ℓℏ units of orbital angular momentum per electron is challenged by the facts that (i) the spin and orbital angular momentum are not separately conserved for a Dirac electron...
متن کاملAcceleration of Relativistic EM Solitons in Intense Laser -Plasmas
Relativistic EM solitons are localized structures self-trapped by a locally modified plasma refractive index via relativistic electron mass increase and an electron density drop due to the ponderomotive force of an intense laser light [1]. A train of relativistic EM solitons is typically found to form behind the intense laser pulse front. Relativistic electromagnetic (EM) solitons in laser driv...
متن کاملObliquely propagating large amplitude solitary waves in charge neutral plasmas
This paper deals in a consistent way with the implications, for the existence of large amplitude stationary structures in general plasmas, of assuming strict charge neutrality between electrons and ions. With the limit of pair plasmas in mind, electron inertia is retained. Combining in a fluid dynamic treatment the conservation of mass, momentum and energy with strict charge neutrality has indi...
متن کاملAngular momenta creation in relativistic electron-positron plasma.
Creation of angular momentum in a relativistic electron-positron plasma is explored. It is shown that a chain of angular momentum carrying vortices is a robust asymptotic state sustained by the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation characteristic to the system. The results may suggest a possible electromagnetic origin of angular momenta when it is applied to the MeV epoch of the early Univ...
