laser等离子体相互作用中低杂波和磁声微扰的激发

Excitation of lower hybrid and magneto-sonic perturbations in laser plasma interaction

Ayushi Vashistha, Devshree Mandal, Amita Das

摘要:

低杂波(LH)和磁声波(MS)是磁化等离子体的常见波型。这些模式在许多现象中起着重要的作用。在磁约束核聚变实验中,低杂波常用于电流驱动和加热。LH波和MS波在各种天体物理和空间等离子体观测中都被观测到。这些波涉及离子运动,因此在高功率脉冲激光实验中没有被考虑。本文用粒子模拟方法研究了激光等离子体相互作用中低杂波激发和磁声激发的一种简单机制。详细研究了这些模式的形成和传播特性。产生这些扰动的方案依赖于在等离子体中施加强磁场来约束激光电场中较轻电子物种的运动。选择磁场强度以使较重的离子在激光频率下不被磁化。这有助于LH波的激发。另一方面,在与激光脉冲持续时间相关的较慢的时间尺度下,甚至离子也显示出磁化响应,并且观察到磁声激发被激发。

英文摘要:

Lower hybrid (LH) and magneto-sonic (MS) waves are well known modes of magnetized plasma. These modes play important roles in many phenomena. The lower hybrid wave is often employed in magnetic confinement fusion experiments for current drive and heating purposes. Both LH and MS waves are observed in various astrophysical and space plasma observations. These waves involve ion motion and have not therefore been considered in high power pulsed laser experiments. This paper shows, with the help of Particle - In - Cell (PIC) simulations, a simple mechanism for excitation of lower hybrid and magnetosonic excitations in the context of laser plasma interaction. A detailed study characterising the formation and propagation of these modes have been provided. The scheme for generating these perturbations relies on the application of a strong magnetic field in the plasma to constrain the motion of lighter electron species in the laser electric field. The magnetic field strength is chosen so as to leave the heavier ions un-magnetized at the laser frequency. This helps in the excitation of the LH waves. On the other hand at the slower time scale associated with the laser pulse duration, even the ions show a magnetized response and magnetosonic excitations are observed to get excited.
