托卡马克中等离子体频率附近的增强辐射现象

实验提出托卡马克中的等离子体频率附近的增强辐射现象与高能逃逸电子有关,但是辐射的机制尚未完全弄清。本文讨论了两种可能的机制。一种是诱发辐射,这是来自逃逸电子与波的反常迴旋共振。另一种是自发辐射,主要来自契仑柯夫共振。前者要求逃逸电子的能量比后者为大,因此,自发辐射理论更引人注意。在很宽的参数变化范围内对辐射率作了数值计算。对于等离子体频率大于迴旋频率的情况也作了讨论。 关键词：     

电磁迴旋不稳定性的准线性理论

在有弱相对论性电子时,在电子迴旋频率Ω_e附近存在快x模的不稳定性。从这一事实出发,我们用准线性理论分析了具有粒子数倒转的分布函数引起的不稳定性最后达到饱和的物理机制。进行了一些近似的计算,求出了电磁迴旋不稳定性的饱和时间和饱和能量及垂直、平行分布函数随时间的演化过程。发现用此理论算出的饱和能级与观察到的AKR结果是一致的。 关键词：

利用电子迴旋共振加热的定域性,改善等离子体电流分布,从而改善撕裂模的稳定条件,只要电子迴旋共振加热的吸收区能覆盖住撕裂模的共振层,就有很好的稳定效应;而不一定要求电子迴旋共振面与撕裂模的共振面重合,在迴旋加热期间,撕裂模被有效地抑制住。 关键词：     

产生高β托卡马克中高能电子的电子迴旋共振加热方法

Rosenbluth等人曾建议在托卡马克外侧产生少量高能香蕉粒子就可以稳定气球模,使托卡马克过渡到第二稳定区运行。本文就设计了一种用电子迴旋共振加热(简称ECRH)在反应堆托卡马克中产生这样的高能电子的方法:在托卡马克外侧,主要沿小环θ方向射入一束具有有限N_∥和某一合适频率ω的射频波,使波束主要在一个磁面附近的窄层内传播,利用高次谐频接力式加热把处于分布函数尾部的少量电子变成这样的高能电子。用各向异性弱相对论介电系数理论作数值计算发现,当N_∥和ω取适当值时,寻常模和异常模都有明显的加热作用。 关键词：

一种同步回旋激射不稳定性对电磁波的直接放大

本文讨论了一种同步回旋激射不稳定性对电磁波的直接放大,它基于少量在速度空间具有空心分布的中等相对论性高能电子束与本底等离子体中本征电磁模的共振相互作用。主要关心的是的参数区域(ω_e为电子等离子体频率,Ω_e为电子回旋频率)。计算表明,若电子束的单能性很高,则不稳定性增长率比同样参数下由动力效应计算得出的增长率高若干个数量级,且最大增长率处在2ω_e附近。     

高β等离子体中低混杂漂移不稳定性

本文对高β等离子体中槽纹模低杂漂移不稳定性从迴旋动力论出发作了较系统的研究,考虑了密度梯度、电子的温度梯度以及磁场梯度漂移的共振效应,解析结果与数值计算取得了完全一致的结论。发现,当温度梯度方向与密度梯度方向相反时,与温度梯度有关的电子的磁漂移共振起不稳定作用,使模的增长率比温度均匀时明显增大;而当方向相同时,温度梯度效应加强电子磁漂移共振的稳定作用,减少模的增长率。在两种情形中随着β值的增大,模的增长率都会减小,而且最大增长率向长波方向移动。电子温度各向异性对模的性质没有影响。 关键词：

非均匀磁场中的动力论漂移迴旋损失锥不稳定性

本文从解析和数值计算两种途径仔细研究了磁场非均匀性漂移共振的动力论效应对于漂移迴旋损失锥不稳定性(DCLC)的影响。发现在高β等离子体中,磁场非均匀效应是非常重要的,磁漂移共振对于负能的模起耗散作用,从而使原有的DCLC不稳定性加强,而且不稳定性的参数区域大大扩展了。有限β值效应并没有象流体近似理论所预言的那样使DCLC模稳定。 关键词：     

Propagation regimes of intense circularly polarized laser beam in magnetoactive plasma

This paper presents an analytical and numerical investigation of an intense circularly polarized wave propagating along the static magnetic field parallel to oscillating magnetic field in magnetoactive plasma. In the relativistic regime such a magnetic field is created by pulse itself. The authors have studied different regimes of propagation with relativistic electron mass effect for magnetized plasma. An appropriate expression for dielectric tensor in relativistic magnetoactive plasma has been evaluated under paraxial theory. Two modes of propagation as extraordinary and ordinary exist; because of the relativistic effect, ultra-strong magnetic fields are generated which significantly influence the propagation of laser beam in plasma. The nature of propagation is characterized through the critical-divider curves in the normalized beam width with power plane For given values of normalized density (ω_p/ω) and magnetic field (ω_c/ω) the regions are namely steady divergence (SD), oscillatory divergence (OD) and self-focusing (SF). Numerical computations are performed for typical parameters of relativistic laser-plasma interaction: magnetic field B = 10-100 MG; intensity I = 10¹⁶ to 10²⁰ W/cm²; laser frequency ω = 1.1 × 10¹⁵ s⁻¹; cyclotron frequency ω_c = 1.7 × 10¹³ s⁻¹; electron density n_e = 2.18 × 10²⁰ cm⁻³. From the calculations, we confirm that a circularly polarized wave can propagate in different regimes for both the modes, and explicitly indicating enhancement in wave propagation, beam focusing/self-guiding and penetration of E-mode in presence of magnetic field.     

On the amplification mechanism of the ion-channel laser

The amplification mechanism of the ion-channel laser (ICL) in the low-gain regime is studied. In this concept, a relativistic electron beam is injected into a plasma whose density is comparable to or lower than the beam's density. The head of the electron beam pushes out the plasma electrons, leaving an ion channel. The ion-focusing force causes the electrons to oscillate (betatron oscillations) about the axis and plays a role similar to the magnetic field in a cyclotron autoresonance maser (CARM). Radiation can be produced with wave frequencies from microwaves to X-rays depending on the beam energy and plasma density: ω~2γ^3/2ω_pe, where γ is the Lorentz factor of the beam and ω_pe is the plasma frequency. Transverse (relativistic) bunching and axial (conventional) bunching are the amplification mechanisms in ICLs; only the latter effect operates in free-electron lasers. The competition of these two bunching mechanisms depends on beam velocity ν_0z; their dependences on ν_0z cancel for the cyclotron autoresonance masers. A linear theory is developed to study the physical mechanisms, and a PIC (particle-in-cell) simulation code is used to verify the theory. The mechanism is examined as a possible explanation for experimentally observed millimeter radiation from relativistic electron beams interacting with plasmas     

Linear Theory of Free Electron Laser with a Plasma-Loaded Cylindrical Waveguide

The dispersion characteristics of plasma–loaded free-electron laser has been analyzed using linear fluid model. The device under consideration consists of the cylindrical metallic waveguide, completely filled with background plasma and a relativistic electron beam which passes through a helical wiggler magnetic field. The result predicts that reasonable plasma density tends to improve the growth rate of the low-frequency optical wave of FEL and causes an shiftup in the operating frequency, However it has little effect on the growth rate of the high-frequency wave. In the plasma–loaded FEL, for the FEL oscillator, it may be tuned by varying the plasma density; and for the FEL amplifier, the wider frequency bandwidth is gained. A critical density n ^c _p for the background plasma density is found.     

Analysis of the effects of plasmas and beam slippage in optical klystron FEL devices

We examine here the effects of plasmas and beam slippage on the gain of an optical klystron (OK) free electron laser (FEL) device under the influence of a weak guiding magnetic field and background plasma. The beam energy spread decreases with background plasma density nop and increases with beam plasma density nob. The maximum gain (Gmax) scales proportional to . The beam slippage phase Δψ scales directly to five power of relativistic factor γ₀ and one half power to nob.     

Measuring magnetic fields in plasmas by means of light scattering

The theory of light scattering in plasmas containing a magnetic field yields the special case of modulated scattering spectra. The modulation frequency is governed by the field in the plasma and is equal to the electron cyclotron frequency. In this investigation magnetic fields in a plasma were determined by a laser scattering experiment. The experimental data were: electron densityn _e=10¹⁶cm^?3, electron temperatureT _e=3.2 eV, scattering angle θ=90 °, scattering parameter α=0.6, and a maximum field in the plasma of 125 kG. The spectrum measured at the maximum magnetic field was modulated with 3.6 × 10¹¹ Hz. In scattering experiments with a field reduced by about 20% the observed modulation frequency was 2.8 × 10¹¹ Hz. A thermal spectrum with a smooth profile was found when no field was present in the plasma. Applying the theory of cyclotron modulated spectra one obtains from the scattering experiment magnetic fields of 128, 100, and 0 kG. Within the experimental accuracy these values agree well with the fields determined by means of magnetic probes. Other possible interpretations of the measured deviations from thermal spectra (modulation with the plasma frequency or additional cold electron components in the plasma) are discussed, but they afford no explanation. This experiment has domonstrated that magnetic fields in plasmas can be measured locally and almost without disturbance by means of light scattering.

Self-field effects on electron dynamics in a three-dimensional helical wiggler free-electron laser with axial magnetic field

An analytic linear theory of the electron dynamics in a three-dimensional helical wiggler free electron laser (FEL) with axial magnetic field is presented. Orbits are obtained by perturbing the steady state-trajectories in order to determine the characteristic frequencies Ω_± of the FEL. The effect of the self-fields on electron dynamics is studied and modified steady-state orbits and their stabilities have been analysed considering variation of electron energy and density. Among the features encountered is that in both group-I and group-II, one of the characteristic frequencies may have either signs affecting then the stability of the motion, while in group-II operation a repulsion of the frequencies at a pseudocrossing leads to highly perturbed trajectories when the wiggler frequency is approximately half the cyclotron frequency. Self-fields effects can significantly impair the stability of the electron orbits. For group-I orbits, they are more important for higher wiggler frequencies and lower beam energies. For group-II orbits, they remain less important for higher wiggler frequencies and lower beam energies before reaching the inversion zone, then they behave as for group-I orbits. It should be remarked that self-fields shift the inversion zone towards higher cyclotron frequencies the thing that is obtained by either decreasing the wiggler frequency or increasing the beam energy. It is shown that the axial velocity-induced self-magnetic field has a diamagnetic effect for both groups orbits, while the wiggler-induced self-magnetic field has a diamagnetic effect for group-I orbits and a paramagnetic effect for group-II orbits. The paramagnetic and diamagnetic effects are more important for higher beam energies and densities.     

Plasma waves near the double resonance layer in the ionosphere

Dispersion properties of plasma waves with frequencies close to the upper hybrid frequency _u and the multiple electron cyclotron frequency n_Be (double resonance) are considered for an inhomogeneous plasma with opposite gradients of the electron density and magnetic field magnitude. We show that a region of possible solutions of the dispersion relation decreases in real space as well as in wave vector space as of the wave frequency approaches double resonance. The results are applied to an interpretation of experiments on ionospheric modification by high-power radio waves with frequencies close to n_Be.Radiophysical Research Institute, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.

Radiation Spectrum of an Electron Cyclotron Maser

We consider generation of electromagnetic radiation at the electron cyclotron harmonics by energetic-electron beams having the mean momentum parallel, transverse, or oblique to the external magnetic field. This process is most efficient if the characteristic transverse momentum is sufficiently large. The radiation spectrum of the beam moving exactly along the magnetic field is closest to the equidistant one. The angle between the direction of the maximum emission and the magnetic field varies from 70^° for the field-aligned beam to 90^° for the beam whose characteristic momentum is transverse to the magnetic field. In fairly strong magnetic fields, i.e., for _Be >_pe, where _Be and _pe are the electron cyclotron and plasma frequencies, respectively, the radiation is maximum at low cyclotron harmonics and the second harmonic dominates. In the weaker fields (_Be < _pe), higher harmonics, up to fifth or sixth, are generated. Both wave modes are generated, but generation of the ordinary waves is far less efficient than that of the extraordinary waves under the same conditions.     

Investigation of the diocotron instability of an infinitely wide sheet electron beam by using the macroscopic cold-fluid model theory

This paper investigates the diocotron instability of an infinitely wide relativistic sheet electron beam in conducting walls propagating through a uniform magnetic field by using the macroscopic cold-fluid model theory. Assuming low-frequency perturbations with long axial wavelengths, the eigenvalue equation and the dispersion relation are acquired for a sheet electron beam with sharp boundary profile and uniform density. The results presented in this paper has developed the use of the macroscopic cold-fluid model theory by extending the parameter of the electron cyclotron frequency ω_c to a wider usage range, which is restricted to be much larger than the plasma frequency ω_p in the previous research work. Theoretical analyses and numerical calculations indicate that the transport of the sheet electron beam will be completely stabilized by augmenting the normalized beam thickness to a conductor gap larger than a threshold λ_b, which is greatly dependent on the parameter ω_c/ω_p. The larger ω_c/ω_p is, the smaller λ_b will be needed. Moreover, the system parameters, including the wave number k_x of the perturbations and the relativistic mass factor γ_b, will also influence the growth rate of diocotron instability obviously.
