Photon plasma–wave interaction via Compton scattering

چکیده
The Kompaneets theory of photon kinetic evolution due to the Compton effect in the absence of absorption and emission is extended to the case of the Vlasov plasma wave oscillations. Under the assumption that the electron distribution function at equilibrium is perturbed by a solution of the linearised Vlasov equation in the long-wavelength limit, a solution of the Kompaneets kinetic equation for the photon distribution function is found and discussed.

At the beginning of thermonuclear ignition in fusion plasma, the bremsstrahlung radiation is dominant phenomenon, the photons distribution function is Planckian and plasma is considered as optically thick one. But at a certain energy, the bremsstrahlung radiation and Compton scattering losses rates become equal and plasma makes a transition from optically thick to optically thin and photons dis...
متن کاملEce Theory of Matter Field Interaction
The general theory of matter field interaction is developed for use with scattering phenomena and applied to Compton scattering, of a photon from an initially stationary electron. The method is based on the ECE wave equation, which defines the R parameter of scattering theory. The wave equation is augmented by the minimal prescription and the relativistic Hamilton Jacobi equation. An expression...

We have studied the formation of relativistic solitary waves due to nonlinearinteraction of strong electromagnetic wave with the plasma wave. Here, our plasma isrelativistic both in temperature and in streaming speed. A set of equations consisting ofscalar and vector potentials together with a third order equation for the enthalpy inphoton gas plasma is obtained analytic...
متن کاملTHE EXPERIMENTAL CHALLENGE OF VIRTUAL COMPTON SCATTERING ABOVE 8 GeV
We discuss the experimental issues confronting measurements of the virtualCompton-scattering (VCS) reaction ep→epγ with electron beams of energy 6 – 30 GeV. We specifically address the kinematics of deeply-virtual-Comptonscattering (deep inelastic scattering, with coincident detection of the exclusive real photon nearly parallel to the virtual photon direction) and large transverse momentum VCS...
متن کاملAn Inverse Compton Scattering Radiation Source via Self-Guiding in a Plasma
In an inverse-Compton scattering source, in which a relativistic electron beam collides with a high-power laser pulse, the x-ray flux produced is proportional to the brightness of the two beams and the size of their overlap region in three-dimensional space. In vacuum, this overlap is limited by the diffraction of the two beams, but the diffraction limit can be overcome by confining both beams ...
