强激光在窄通道中传播的理论研究

在考虑相对论和有质动力非线性以及全局电量守衡的前提下,分析了强激光在冷等离子体窄通道中稳定传播的情况。采用较为简化的二维理论模型,给出了描述激光和通道横向结构的解,对不同通道宽度、通道密度、激光强度和电磁模式等进行了讨论,分析了其对激光在等离子体通道中传播的影响。分析发现,在存在预通道的情况下,当等离子体通道的密度大于临界密度很多时(例如20倍临界密度),即使是在激光波长量级的通道中,激光仍然可以传播。通道越宽,等离子体密度越小;激光强度越大越容易传播。在同样的通道和传输情况下,TE0模传输所需要的激光强度比TE1模要小。     

A novel type of solitons in electron-ion plasmas

By using one-dimensional self-consistent relativistic fluid model, a novel type of moving relativistic electromagnetic solitons with high intensity in electron-ion plasmas where the ion dynamics is taken into account is investigated numerically. Unlike solitons with single-humped scalar potential found in previous studies, these solitons possess multi-humped scalar and vector potential. The existence of such soliton solutions is investigated in plasmas with different background densities, and the properties of these solitons are presented in detail. We found that the peculiar profile of electron density has alternating regions of humps and dips like a Bragg's grating.     

Few-cycle relativistic solitons in plasmas

A set of exact one-dimensional solutions to coupled nonlinear equations describing the propagation of a relativistic ultrashort circularly polarized laser pulse in a cold collisionless and bounded plasma where electrons have an initial velocity in the laser propagating direction is presented. The solutions investigated here are in the form of quickly moving envelop solitons at a propagation velocity comparable to the light speed. The features of solitons in both underdense and overdense plasmas with electrons having different given initial velocities in the laser propagating direction are described. It is found that the amplitude of solitons is larger and soliton width shorter in plasmas where electrons have a larger initial velocity. In overdense plasmas, soliton duration is shorter, the amplitude higher than that in underdense plasmas where electrons have the same initial velocity.     

高能离子在稠密等离子体中的传输和能量沉积

用相对论福克-普朗克方程对高能离子在稠密氘氚等离子体中的碰撞动力学进行了研究，用球谐函数来展开方程的解：格林函数，然后简明地求出了不同能量质子和α粒子在等离子体中的停止时间、减速距离、纵向弥散距离和横向偏转距离.与以前研究离子在等离子体中运动的方法相比，没有假设高能离子在等离子体中损失能量远远小于入射离子能量，求解了纵向弥散距离；并且可以求解横向偏转距离.这些计算对实验上用高能离子加热冷的稠密等离子体，然后进行科学研究具有指导作用，并且可以用来研究快点火的可能性. 关键词： 高能离子 福克-普朗克方程
