Solitary Waves in an Intense Beam Propagating through a Smooth Focusing Field

چکیده
Based on the Vlasov-Maxwell equations describing the self-consistent nonlinear beam dynamics and collective processes, the evolution of an intense sheet beam propagating through a periodic focusing field has been studied. In an earlier paper [1] it has been shown that in the case of a beam with uniform phase space density the Vlasov-Maxwell equations can be replaced exactly by the macroscopic warm fluid-Maxwell equations with a triple adiabatic pressure law. In this paper we demonstrate that starting from the macroscopic fluid-Maxwell equations a nonlinear Schroedinger equation for the slowly varying wave amplitude (or a set of coupled nonlinear Schroedinger equations for the wave amplitudes in the case of multi-wave interactions) can be derived. Properties of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation are discussed, together with soliton formation in intense particle beams.

Study of non-linear interaction of circular laser pulse propagating through hot magnetized plasma in the presence of a planar magnetostatic wiggler
In this paper, the self-focusing property of an intense circularly polarized laser pulse in hot magnetized plasma is investigated theoretically. First, an envelope equation governing the spot-size of the laser beam for both left- and right-hand polarizations has been derived in the presence of a planar wiggler. Furthermore, non-linear dispersion relation of laser pulse is obtained by using Maxw...

A new rigid-rotor Vlasov equilibrium is obtained for an intense, axisymmetric chargedparticle beam with uniform density in the radial direction propagating through a periodic solenoidal focusing field. The beam envelope equation is derived, and examples of periodically focused rigid-rotor Vlasov equilibria are presented. Statistical properties and possible applications of the present beam equil...

متن کاملSimulation of Space Charge Waves in Finite Length High-Current Beams with Wall Resistivity
Collective space charge effects play an important role in intense unneutral ized beams of non relativistic heavy ions, which are of interest in recently proposed high-current accelerators (such as drivers for inertial confinement fusion etc.). Of particular importance is the propagation of wave-like perturbations including the destabilizing effect of dissipation due to finite electrical conduct...
متن کاملObservation of sound focusing and defocusing due to propagating nonlinear internal waves.
Fluctuations of the low frequency sound field in the presence of an internal solitary wave packet during the Shallow Water '06 experiment are analyzed. Acoustic, environmental, and on-board ship radar image data were collected simultaneously before, during, and after a strong internal solitary wave packet passed through the acoustic track. Preliminary analysis of the acoustic wave temporal inte...
