Magnetised Electron - Positron Plasmas

چکیده
Electrostatic oscillations in cold electron-positron plasmas can be coupled to a propagating electromagnetic mode if the background magnetic field is in-homogeneous. Previous work considered this coupling in the quasi-linear regime, successfully simulating the electromagnetic mode. Here we present a stability analysis of the non-linear problem, perturbed from dynamical equilibrium , in order to gain some insight into the modes present in the system.

Linear waves and reconnecting instabilities in slab magnetised low-beta non-relativistic electron-positron plasmas
The properties of a non-relativistic low-beta magnetised electron-positron plasma in slab geometry are investigated. The two species are taken to be drift-kinetic while we retain Larmor radius effects in quasi-neutrality, and inertia in Ohm’s law. It is shown that the system supports collisionless dispersive waves, which can greatly impact nonlinear magnetic reconnection, but only for large β, ...

متن کاملUltrarelativistic Electron-Positron Plasma
Ultrarelativistic electron-positron plasmas can be produced in high-intensity laser fields and play a role in various astrophysical situations. Their properties can be calculated using QED at finite temperature. Here we will use perturbative QED at finite temperature for calculating various important properties, such as the equation of state, dispersion relations of collective plasma modes of p...
متن کاملPlans for the creation and studies of electron–positron plasmas in a stellarator
Electron–positron plasmas are unique in their behavior due to the mass symmetry. Strongly magnetized electron–positron, or pair, plasmas are present in a number of astrophysical settings, such as astrophysical jets, but they have not yet been created in the laboratory. Plans for the creation and diagnosis of pair plasmas in a stellarator are presented, based on extrapolation of the results from...
متن کاملGeneration of neutral and high-density electron–positron pair plasmas in the laboratory
Electron-positron pair plasmas represent a unique state of matter, whereby there exists an intrinsic and complete symmetry between negatively charged (matter) and positively charged (antimatter) particles. These plasmas play a fundamental role in the dynamics of ultra-massive astrophysical objects and are believed to be associated with the emission of ultra-bright gamma-ray bursts. Despite exte...
