无碰撞等离子体中电子束流不稳定性的时空演化

强激光在冕区等离子体中传播到临界面附近生成相对论电子和相对论电子束流在随后较长一段稠密等离子体区的能量传输是快点火中的关键问题。对快点火条件下的激光等离子体参数，临界面附近产生的前向快电子电流往往超过阿尔芬极限电流，必须在稠密等离子体中产生中和回流，快电子流才能在稠密等离子体中向前输运。横向电磁不稳定性（类Weibel不稳定性，WI）和纵向静电双流不稳定性（TSI）很容易在这种电子双流体系中激发，前向电子束会被调制或成丝状结构，同时激发电磁场，粒子部分动能会转化为电磁场能量。不稳定性在非线性饱和后，发生电流丝的合并、磁场重联等过程，部分电磁场能量会再转化为粒子能量，表现为对离子体的横向加热。Weibel不稳定性的作用可能形成围绕传播电子束的磁通道，对快电子的定向和准直传播是重要的。TSI激发的纵向静电场对磁场通道会有明显的调制甚至破坏作用，直接影响高能电子流从激光吸收区到燃料压缩区的准直传播。

Filamentation of laser radiation in DC biased GaAs

In this paper, we have examined the filamentation instability of laser radiation in a GaAs sample in the negative differential resistivity region. A dc electric field is applied to assist the laser beam transferring electrons in the conduction band from the lower valley to upper satellite valleys, i.e. in increasing the effective mass of electrons. The instability causes the space charge perturbations in the microwave range of frequencies. The nonlinearity arises through the energy dependence of the effective mass and the ponderomotive force on the electrons. The instability has finite frequency and possesses large growth rate which is greatly influenced by the dc electric field.

GeV electrons from ultraintense laser interaction with highly charged ions

Ultraintense laser interactions with highly charged ions are investigated using three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations. Results show that ultraenergetic GeV electrons may be produced for highly charged ions chosen so that their electrons remain bound during the rise time of the laser pulse, and so that the electrons are ionized when the laser is near its maximum amplitude, which satisfies the best injection condition for subsequent laser acceleration.     

Transverse modulation of an electron beam generated in self-modulated laser wakefield accelerator experiments

Low energy electron beams (E approximately 300 keV) generated in a self-modulated laser wakefield accelerator experiment were observed to filament and be deflected away from the laser axis forming radial jets in the electron beam profile. At higher energies (E>900 keV), the filamentation and jets were suppressed and smooth electron beams copropagating with the laser were observed. The observed electron beam filamentation likely results from laser beam filamentation in the plasma due to relativistic self-focusing effects. The radial jets of low energy electrons are likely caused by transverse ejection of the electrons due to the radial structure of the wakefield and space charge deflection of electrons as they exit the laser focus.     

On an anomaly of the thermal filamentation mechanism in a high-power electromagnetic field of a strongly collisional plasma

It is shown that, under the conditions when the mean free path of electrons in a fully ionized plasma is small compared with the London plasma length, the thermal mechanism of inverse bremsstrahlung absorption and electronic conductivity has a stabilizing action on filamentation instability of high-power electromagnetic radiation, in contrast to the known case of comparatively low-intensity radiation. This new nonlinear property of a plasma is shown to be determined by a decrease in the effectiveness of plasma heating in a heating pumping field with increasing the intensity of radiation if electron oscillations have above-thermal rates.     

Filamentation instability in two counter-streaming laser plasmas

The filamentation instability was observed in the interaction of two counter-streaming laser ablated plasma flows,which were supersonic, collisionless, and also closely relevant to astrophysical conditions. The plasma flows were created by irradiating a pair of oppositely standing plastic(CH) foils with 1ns-pulsed laser beams of total energy of 1.7 k J in two laser spots. With characteristics diagnosed in experiments, the calculated features of Weibel-type filaments are in good agreement with measurements.

FILAMENTATION INSTABILITY OF LASER BEAMS IN NONLOCAL NONLINEAR MEDIA

The filamentation instability of laser beams propagating in nonlocal nonlinear media is investigated. It is shown that the filamentation instability can occur in weakly nonlocal self-focusing media for any degree of nonlocality, and in defocusing media for the input light intensity exceeding a threshold related to the degree of nonlocality. A linear stability analysis is used to predict the initial growth rate of the instability. It is found that the nonlocality tends to suppress filamentation instability in self-focusing media and to stimulate filamentation instability in self-defocusing media. Numerical simulations confirm the results of the linear stability analysis and disclose a recurrence phenomenon in nonlocal self-focusing media analogous to the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam problem.
