氢原子束在大气长程传输中的剥离效应

考虑到中性粒子束对近地轨道太空垃圾的清理作用以及在太空探索中的潜在应用前景,研究了中性粒子束在亚轨道空间长程传输过程中影响束流能量和密度损失的主要物理机制,重点分析了剥离效应对束流损耗的影响。中性束剥离效应包括束流粒子之间碰撞导致的自剥离效应和其与大气粒子碰撞导致的剥离效应。以束密度随传播距离变化的方程为基础,通过引用几何因子来表征束流的自剥离效应强度,建立了剥离效应机制下束流的传输模型,由此评估了束流自剥离效应在中性束长程传输中对传输距离的影响关系。研究结果表明,在固定的高度,当中性束密度大于空气粒子密度时,自剥离效应的影响将非常突出,随着传输高度的升高,即使束密度和空气密度同时降低维持量级一致,自剥离效应对传输距离的影响在大几何因子的情况下仍会增强。

Effect of relativistic elliptical beam modulation on excitation of surface plasma waves in a magnetized dusty plasma column with elliptical cross section

Abstract

The excitation of surface plasma waves due to the interaction of an elliptical relativistic density modulated electron beam with the magnetized dusty plasma column with elliptical cross-section has been studied. The dispersion relation of surface plasma waves has been retrieved from the derived dispersion relation by considering that the beam is absent and there is no dust in the plasma elliptical cylinder. It is shown that the Cherenkov and fast cyclotron interactions appear between the beam and eigen-modes of plasma column. The growth rate of the instability increases with the beam density and modulation index as one-third power of the beam density in Cherenkov interaction and is proportional to the square root of beam density in fast cyclotron interaction. The numerical results and graphs are presented, too.     

Modeling of terahertz radiation emission from a free‐electron laser

In this article, we report the generation of terahertz (THz) radiation using the interaction of a laser‐modulated relativistic electron beam (REB) with a surface plasma wave. Two laser beams propagating through the modulator interact with the REB, leading to velocity modulation of the beam. This results in pre‐bunching of the REB. The pre‐bunched beam travels through the drift space, where the velocity modulation translates into density modulation. The density‐modulated beam, on interacting with the surface plasma pump wave, acquires an oscillatory velocity that couples with the modulated beam density to give rise to a nonlinear current density which acts as an antenna to give THz radiation. By optimizing the parameters of the beam and the wiggler, we obtain power of the order of 10⁻⁴ using the current scheme.

Stimulated Brillouin scattering of elliptical laser beam in collisionless plasma

This paper presents an investigation of self-focusing of elliptical laser beam in collisionless plasma and its effect on stimulated Brillouin scattering. The pump beam interacts with a pre-excited ion-acoustic wave leading to Brillouin back-scattered process. The transverse intensity gradient of a pump beam generates a ponderomotive force, which modifies the background plasma density profile in a direction transverse to pump beam axis. This modification in density effects the incident laser beam, ion-acoustic wave and back-scattered beam. Non-linear differential equations for the beam width parameters of pump laser beam, ion-acoustic wave and back-scattered beam are set up and solved numerically. It is observed from the analysis that the focusing of waves enhances the SBS back-reflectivity.

Absolute measurement of electron-cloud density in a positively charged particle beam

Clouds of stray electrons are ubiquitous in particle accelerators and frequently limit the performance of storage rings. Earlier measurements of electron energy distribution and flux to the walls provided only a relative electron-cloud density. We have measured electron accumulation using ions expelled by the beam. The ion energy distribution maps the depressed beam potential and gives the dynamic cloud density. Clearing electrode current reveals the static background cloud density, allowing the first absolute measurement of the time-dependent electron-cloud density during the beam pulse.     

Measurements of Beam Shape Coefficients in Generalized Lorenz-Mie Theory and the Density-Matrix Approach. Part 2: The Density-Matrix Approach

In Part 1, it was demonstrated that intensity measurements on an actual beam in the laboratory allow one to determine so-called density matrices related to the beam shape coefficients encoding the beam and used in many expressions of the generalized Lorenz-Mie theory. In this paper, expressions in the generalized Lorenz-Mie theory are rewritten and it is shown that they can be expressed in terms of the density matrices rather than in terms of beam shape coefficients, leading to what is called the density matrix approach to the generalized Lorenz-Mie theory. The possibility of rewriting the generalized Lorenz-Mie theory in terms of quantities describing the illuminating beam and experimentally measurable in the laboratory offers new opportunities in optical characterization.

Probe Measurements in a Beam Plasma Discharge

The influence of the beam energy and beam current density on the parameters of the plasma is investigated. The efficiency of carrier generation by collective interactions (Langmuir-oscillations) is compared with that by the single collision mechanism.

Propagation Characteristics of a Partially Coherent Gaussian Schell-model Array Vortex Beam in the Joint Turbulence Effect of a Jet Engine and Atmosphere

This work investigates the joint effects of jet engine exhaust-induced turbulence and atmospheric turbulence on the propagation of a partially coherent Gaussian Schell-model Array (GSMA) vortex beam. Using the two-process propagation method, analytical formulae are derived for the cross-spectral density, spectral density, degree of coherence, and beam width of the considered beam. The results show that the considered beam takes different shapes; when the spatial coherence is large, the spectral density of the GSMA vortex beam takes an elliptical shape, whereas when the spatial coherence is smaller, the spectral density remains a Gaussian shape. The evolution profile of the degree of coherence weakens gradually when the propagation distance, topological charge, and turbulence strength increase. Moreover, the profile of the degree of coherence takes the Gaussian profile when the propagation distance is longer or turbulence atmospheric is stronger. Furthermore, the results reveal that the corresponding beam spreads faster with a larger propagation distance, lower spatial coherence, and high-strength turbulence. This study also concludes from the results that the beam is affected more when its propagation is near the jet engine exhaust, which means that this latter has a significant impact.     

Physical properties of relativistic electron beam during long-range propagation in space plasma environment

It is known that ion channel can effectively limit the radial expansion of an artificial electron beam during its longrange propagation in the space plasma environment. Most prior studies discussed the focusing characteristics of the beam in the ion channel, but the establishment process and transient properties of the ion channel itself, which also plays a crucial role during the propagation of the relativistic electron beam in the plasma environment, were commonly neglected. In this study, a series of two-dimensional(2 D) particle-in-cell simulations is performed and an analytical model of ion channel oscillation is constructed according to the single-particle motion. The results showed that when the beam density is higher than the density of plasma environment, ion channel can be established and always continues to oscillate periodically over the entire propagation. Multiple factors, including the beam electron density, initial beam radius, and the plasma density can affect the oscillation properties of ion channel. Axial velocity of the beam oscillates synchronously with the ion channel and this phenomenon will finally develop into a two-stream instability which can seriously affect the effective transport for relativistic electron beam. Choosing appropriate beam parameters based on various plasma environments may contribute to the improvement of the stability of ion channel. Additionally, radial expansion of the beam can be limited by ion channel and a stable long-range propagation in terrestrial atmosphere may be achieved.

We report a beam-shaping technique that reconfigures the beams to improve the beam quality and enhance the power density for a ten-array high-power laser-diode stack by using two optical rectangular cubes and two stripe-mirror plates. The reshaped beam has threefold improvement in beam quality, and its power density is effectively enhanced. On the basis of this technique, we focus the beam of the high-power laser-diode stack to effectively end pump a high-power fiber laser.

Specific features of the formation of a uniform ribbon electron beam by a plasma source in the forevacuum pressure range

Results are presented from experimental studies of the formation of a ribbon electron beam during the extraction of electrons from the plasma of a steady-state hollow-cathode discharge in the forevacuum pressure range. It is shown that the main reason for the nonuniformity of the current density is the increase in the local nonuniformity of the emission plasma density caused by the return flow of ions from the accelerating gap. Taking this feature into account when developing a system of beam extraction provides for the generation of a ribbon beam with a nonuniformity of the current density along the beam of less than 10%.
