J. R. Peterson, S. Glenzer, F. Fiuza

摘要:

相对论性流动等离子体不稳定性引起的磁场放大是高能天体物理环境以及与强激光和电子束相关的实验室场景的核心。本文报道了相对论稀释电子束在线性韦伯不稳定性饱和后出现的一种新的二次非线性不稳定性。这种不稳定性的增长,由于横向磁压力与束电流丝,这不能迅速中和由于背景离子的惯性。我们表明,它可以放大的磁场强度和空间尺度的数量级,导致大规模的等离子体腔与强磁场和非常有效的转换成磁能的光束动能。的不稳定性增长率,饱和水平,和尺度长度的解析推导,并显示出良好的协议与全动力学模拟。

英文摘要:

Magnetic field amplification by relativistic streaming plasma instabilities is central to a wide variety of high-energy astrophysical environments as well as to laboratory scenarios associated with intense lasers and electron beams. We report on a new secondary nonlinear instability which arises for relativistic dilute electron beams after the saturation of the linear Weibel instability. This instability grows due to the transverse magnetic pressure associated with the beam current filaments, which cannot be quickly neutralized due to the inertia of background ions. We show that it can amplify the magnetic field strength and spatial scale by orders of magnitude, leading to large-scale plasma cavities with strong magnetic field and to very efficient conversion of the beam kinetic energy into magnetic energy. The instability growth rate, saturation level, and scale length are derived analytically and shown to be in good agreement with fully-kinetic simulations.
