Pair Production in Chromoelectric Field with Back Reaction

Massless quark pair production in SU(2) gauge chromoelectric field is investigated by solving the Wigner function with back reaction. The temporal evolution of specific field and its current are obtained self consistently. For the quark distribution function, both its time and momentum dependence are studied. In particular, some interesting phenomena are found, for example, the more abundant symmetry or/and antisymmetry characteristics, the existence of the attractive basin structure and the existence of the momentum "gap" in the quark distribution and so on. All the phenomena are associated with the quark-gluon plasma oscillation, which due to the back reaction effect. The study and analysis qualitatively about the components of the Wigner function are expected to be helpful to deepen the understanding of the QCD vacuum.     

Electronic transport of Lorentz plasma with collision and magnetic field effects

The electronic transverse transport of Lorentz plasma with collision and magnetic field effects is studied by solving the Boltzmann equation for different electron density distributions. For the Maxwellian distribution, it is shown that transport coefficients decrease as ? increases, ? is the ratio of an electron's magneto-cyclotron frequency to plasma collision frequency. It means that the electrons are possible to be highly collimated by a strong magnetic field. For the quasimonoenergetic distribution with different widths, it is found that the transport coefficients decrease greatly as εˉ decreases.In particular when the width approaches to zero the transverse transport coefficients are hardly affected by the magnetic field and the minimal one is obtained. Results imply that the strong magnetic field and quasi-monoenergetic distribution are both beneficial to reduce the electronic transverse transport. This study is also helpful to understand the relevant problems of plasma transport in the background of the inertial confinement fusion.     

磁场对激光驱动的喷流演化影响的二维数值研究

喷流的触发机制、准直传输和稳定性一直是天体物理学的研究热点.近年通过观测和实验室研究发现磁场在喷流准直传输和加速中起着关键作用.本文利用开源的辐射磁流体模拟程序FLASH对强激光驱动聚苯乙烯(CH)平面靶产生的靶前喷流进行了二维的数值模拟,系统地考察和比较了Biermann自生磁场以及不同方向、不同初始强度的外加磁场对喷流演化的动力学.模拟结果表明Biermann自生磁场不会影响喷流的界面动力学,而外加磁场对等离子体出流具有重定向作用,平行于靶前等离子体出流中心流向的外加磁场有助于喷流的产生和准直传输.其形成和演化过程是等离子体热压、磁压以及冲压三者相互竞争的结果.在受力方面,在喷流演化过程中等离子体热压梯度力和磁压力起决定性作用.研究结果为后续开展和喷流相关的实验研究提供借鉴,也有助于加深对天体喷流演化的理解.     

磁场对激光驱动Rayleigh-Taylor不稳定性影响的数值研究

Rayleigh-Taylor不稳定性(RTI)作为流体和等离子体中基础的物理现象,在天体物理、空间物理以及工程领域扮演着重要角色.尤其在惯性约束核聚变(ICF)研究中, RTI等宏观流体不稳定性是不可回避的物理问题.本文利用开源的辐射磁流体模拟程序FLASH对激光驱动调制靶产生的RTI进行了二维的数值模拟,系统地考察和比较了RTI在无磁场、Biermann自生磁场、不同外加磁场情况下的演化.模拟结果表明, Biermann自生磁场和平行流向的外加磁场在RTI演化过程中基本不会改变RTI的界面动力学,而垂直流向的外加磁场对RTI以及RTI尖钉尾部的Kelvin-Helmholtz涡旋有致稳作用,其中磁压力起主导作用.研究结果为后续开展和ICF相关的靶物理研究提供借鉴,也有助于加深对流体混合过程的理解.
