A slow wave free-electron laser

A simple calculation of a free-electron laser in the Compton regime that uses a dielectric-lined waveguide is presented. The introduction of a dielectric lining in a free-electron laser considerably reduces the requirements on beam voltage for generating a given frequency ω₁=k₀c/(1 - v_b η/c), where k₀ is the wiggler wave period η is the effective index of refraction (1<η<√ϵ) and ϵ is the permittivity. The system supports electromagnetic waves whose Poynting flux is largely concentrated in the dielectric; hence the electron beam is required to propagate close to the dielectric lining. The mode structure and dispersion behavior of the guiding system without the beam are discussed. a thin annular beam is introduced, and a perturbation theory is used to obtain the frequency and growth rate of radiation     

Oscillating two-stream instability of a plasma wave in a plasmachannel

A long wavelength Langmuir wave (ω₀, k₀), propagating through a parabolic plasma density channel, can decay into a low-frequency mode (ω,k&oarr;) and two short wavelength Langmuir wave sidebands (ν_1,2,k&oarr;_1,2 ), via two-stream instability where ω_1,2=ω∓ω₀ and k&oarr;_1,2=k&oarr;∓k&oarr;₀. Depending on the mode number n, the growth rate maximizes in the range γ_max≃0.1ω_pi-0.4ω_pi for the range of k from 0.1(ω_pi/c_s) to 0.2(ω_pi/c_x) for ν₀~ν_th where ν₀ and ν_th are the oscillatory and thermal velocities of electrons, ω_pi is the ion plasma frequency on the axis, and c_s is the sound speed. The growth rate increases with the width a of the plasma density channel. It decreases with the mode number. The instability may be relevant to laser based charged particle accelerators

垂直载荷下颗粒物质的声波探测和非线性响应

对于玻璃珠组成的颗粒介质样品,本文测量了横波和纵波声速,同时分析了剪切模量(G)与体积模量(B)的比值(G/B)随压强的变化规律.结果表明,在低压强下,颗粒体系的纵波声速(C_L)明显大于横波声速(c_T),且体系的CL,CT及G/B均随压强p变化呈幂律标度,即CL∝p~(0.3817),CT∝p~(0.2809)G/B∝p~(-0.4539),幂指数与文献[1]中预言的-1/2非常接近,暗示在我们实验压强范围内的颗粒样品处于L玻璃状态.此外,本文还利用快速傅里叶变换法测量了玻璃珠样品中的声学衰减特性及二阶谐波随压强的变化,发现:纵波声衰减系数(α)、接收端二倍频振幅(μ_(2ω))与基频振幅(μ_(1ω))平方的比值(μ_(2ω)/μ_(1ω)~2)均随压强的增大而幂率减小,分别为α∝p~-(-0.1879),和μ_(2ω)/μ_(1ω)~2∝p~(-0.866).     

Plasma effects in a free electron laser

The introduction of a plasma and a strong guide magnetic field in a free electron laser (FEL) slows down the phase velocity of radiation, significantly reducing the requirements on beam energy for generating frequencies below the electron-cyclotron frequency (ω₁≲ω_c). Around plasma resonance (ω₁~ω_p), the FEL mode couples to two-stream instability (TSI), attaining a large growth rate, comparable to that of the wiggler-free TSI. At plasma densities comparable to beam density, the beam-induced local depression in the electron density of the plasma acts as a waveguide for guiding any high-frequency radiation when the beam current is ≳17 kA     

热阴极电离真空计的线性理论

从繁流放电理论可直接导出热阴极电离真空计的特性方程,证明通常的概念即在热计的电子流i_e一定时其离子流i₊与压强P成正比的关系,只在离子流甚小于电子流时才能成立。在被测气体的压强较高时,离子流和压强之间呈现下列指数关系: i₊/i_e=1-e^{(-(K₁P-K₂P2))}(K₁及K₂为常数),且随着压强的增长而逐步趋于饱和。进一步的推导则得出,当容许测量误差为1％时,热计的线性上限(临界压强)为P_c=0.22/Г,此处Г为热计的灵敏度。这种理论可以容易地解释近年来一些实验工作者例如Nottingham,Schultz,Goto,Hinzpeter等的实验结果。此外我们还使用了特殊设计的“封闭式”电离计作实验,得到的结果和理论预计十分符合。这种电离计本身则可用作10^-7～0.6托的宽程量具。 关键词：     

Cold-Fluid Analysis of the Space-Charge Effects in an Electromagnetically Pumped Free-Electron Laser with an Axial-Guide Magnetic Field

The space-charge effects are analysed and five kinds of fluid waves are obtained in the e-beam density and the axial-current density for an electromagnetically pumped free-electron laser with an axial-guide magnetic field by using the cold-fluid theory. To enhance the gain, the guide field Bo must be in this regime: -2(ω_υ + cβ_x0k_ω) < Ω < -(ω_υ + cβ_x0k_ω), where Ω₀ = eB₀/mr₀ and ω_υ(k_ω) is the frequency (wave number) of the wiggler.     

Second harmonic stimulated Raman scattering of laser radiation in aplasma

A high-power linearly polarized laser propagating through a plasma produces oscillatory electron velocity at the second harmonic due to-the ν&oarr;×B&oarr; force, This velocity couples a Langmuir wave (ω, k&oarr;) and an electromagnetic wave (ω₁, k&oarr;₁), where ω₁=ω-2ω₀ , k-2k&oarr;₀ and ω₀, k&oarr;₀ are frequency and wavenumber of the laser pump, causing second harmonic Raman scattering. The growth rate is maximum for side scattering. This process can occur above the quarter critical density, unlike the first harmonic stimulated Raman scattering which occurs below the quarter critical density     

Equilibrium dynamics of the sub-Ohmic spin-boson model under bias

Using the bosonic numerical renormalization group method, we studied the equilibrium dynamical correlation function C(ω) of the spin operator σ_z for the biased sub-Ohmic spin-boson model. The small-ω behavior C(ω) ∝ω~s is found to be universal and independent of the bias ε and the coupling strength α(except at the quantum critical point α = αc and ε = 0). Our NRG data also show C(ω) ∝χ~2ω~s for a wide range of parameters, including the biased strong coupling regime(ε = 0 and α α_c), supporting the general validity of the Shiba relation. Close to the quantum critical point αc,the dependence of C(ω) on α and ε is understood in terms of the competition between ε and the crossover energy scale ω_0~*of the unbiased case. C(ω) is stable with respect to ε for ε《ε~*. For ε》ε~*, it is suppressed by ε in the low frequency regime. We establish that ε~*∝(ω_0~*)~(1/θ)holds for all sub-Ohmic regime 0≤s 1, with θ = 2/(3s) for 0 s≤1/2 and θ = 2/(1 + s) for 1/2 s 1. The variation of C(ω) with α and ε is summarized into a crossover phase diagram on the α–ε plane.     

Structural,Spectroscopic and Vibrational Properties for Low-Lying Electronic States of LiCl

A multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) study has been carried out on the LiCl molecule. The potential energy has been calculated over a wide range of internuclear separation for the 21 low-lying electronic states of the LiCl molecule dissociating into Li (²S, ²P, ³S)+Cl(²P). The (4)¹Σ⁺, (3)¹Π, 1-3³Σ⁺, 1-3³Π, ^1,3Δ, ^1,3Σ^-, (5)¹Σ⁺, (4)³Σ⁺, (4)¹Π, (4)³Π excited states are studied for the first time in theory. Molecular spectroscopic constants (R_e, D_e, ω_e, ω_eχ_e, B_e and α_e) have been derived for the 9 bound states (X¹Σ⁺, (3)¹Σ⁺, (2)¹Σ⁺, ^1,3Δ, ^1,3Σ^-, (4)¹Π, (4)³Π) with a regular shape, and the spectroscopic constants of ground states X¹Σ⁺ are in good agreement with available experimental and theoretical values. The relative differences between experimental values and our values for R_e, D_e, ω_e, ω_eχ_e, B_e and α_e are 1.02%, 0.60%, 1.72%, 9.46%, 2.0%, and 0.75%, respectively. Moreover, vibrational levels of 9 bound states, which have not been investigated experimentally, are computed.     

On the effect of long-wavelength electron plasma waves onlarge-angle stimulated Raman scattering of short laser pulse in plasmas

Spectral features of a large-angle stimulated Raman scattering (LA SRS) of a short electromagnetic pulse in an underdense plasma, which are caused by the presence in a plasma of a given linear long-wavelength electron plasma wave (LW EPW), are investigated. It is shown that the LW EPW, whose phase velocity coincides with a group velocity of a pulse and a density perturbation normalized to a background electron density δn_LW/n₀ exceeds the ratio of the electron plasma frequency to the laser frequency ω_pe/ω₀ suppresses the well-known Stokes branch of the weakly coupled LA SRS. Under the same condition, the anti-Stokes band appears in the spectrum of the scattered radiation. Variation of a scattering angle and an electron temperature do not significantly modify qualitative features of the effect. In the case of strongly coupled LA SRS, the maximum of the increment is decreased by nearly one-half for δn_LW/n₀~(a₀ω_pe /ω₀)^2/3≫ω_pe /ω₀, where a₀ is an amplitude of an electron quiver velocity in the laser field normalized to a speed of light c, and it decreases further with an increase in plasma density perturbation in LW EPW     

Acoustic double layers in multispecies plasma

Particle simulation in a one-dimensional bounded system is used to examine the formation of acoustic double layers in the presence of two ion species. Double-layer formation depends critically on the details of the distribution functions of the supporting ion populations, and their relative drifts with respect to the electrons. The effect of having two ion components, an H⁺ and an O⁺ beam, on double-layer evolution from ion acoustic turbulence driven by an electron drift relative to the H⁺ beam of ≈0.5u _e, where uu_e is the electron thermal speed, is examined. The ratio of ion drifts is taken to be consistent with acceleration by a quasi-static auroral potential drop (i.e. V _H/V_O=√M_O/ M_H=4.0). Acoustic double layers form in either ion species on the time scale τ≈100ω_ps^-1, where ω_ps is the ion plasma frequency for species `s' and s=H or O, and for drifts relative to the electrons lower than that required for double layer formation in simulations of single ion component plasma

Ultrafast structural dynamics using time-resolved x-ray diffraction driven by relativistic laser pulses

Based on a femtosecond laser plasma-induced hard x-ray source with a high laser pulse energy( 100 mJ) at 10 Hz repetition rate,we present a time-resolved x-ray diffraction system on an ultrafast time scale.The laser intensity is at relativistic regime(2 × 10~(19) W/cm~2),which is essential for effectively generating K_α source in high-Z metal material.The produced copper K_α radiation yield reaches to 2.5 × 10~8 photons/sr/shot.The multilayer mirrors are optimized for monochromatizating and two-dimensional beam shaping of K_α emission.Our experiment exhibits its ability of monitoring the transient structural changes in a thin film SrCoO_(2.5) crystal.It is demonstrated that this facility is a powerful tool to perform dynamic studies on samples and adaptable to the specific needs for different particular applications with high flexibility.

New method for polarization measurements of magnetic fields indense plasmas

Measurements of magnetic fields based on observations of the Zeeman splitting ω_B of spectral lines is a virtually impossible task in dense plasmas of powerful Z-pinches where the Stark splitting in the ion microfields ω_F is much greater than ω_B. In this situation, much better diagnostics of magnetic fields can be achieved through polarization difference contours obtained by subtracting profiles of the same spectral line observed in two orthogonal linear polarizations. In this way the obscuring role of the Stark effect is significantly diminished. In the present paper it is shown that the most sensitive and accurate measurements of the magnitude and the direction of the magnetic field in a dense plasma can be conducted employing central Stark components of hydrogen or hydrogen-like spectral lines. The polarization contour of a central Stark component turned out to be much more sensitive to the magnetic field than the polarization contour of a lateral component of the same line, namely by a factor of (ω_F/ω_B) ³≫1. This constitutes a drastic enhancement of the previously suggested method that had used the polarization contour of a lateral Stark component because in dense plasmas a typical value of the above factor is (ω_F/ω_B)³⩾10³ . The new method can also be used for laser fusion plasmas and for some astrophysical objects such as magnetic white dwarfs
