A problem of Raman backscattering of laser beam propagating in a transversely wiggler magnetized plasma is considered in the presence of density ripples. Required dispersion relation of excited upper hybrid wave is derived by using the fluid model and taking into account the coupling between primary upper hybrid wave and density ripples. Using wave equation […]
Near the critical layer, a p-polarized laser that impinges on a dense plasma having density gradient at an angle to the density gradient transforms into a plasma wave. Even after the laser pulse has stopped, the plasma wave survives. The electrons close to the crucial layer are heated by the plasma wave. Increased plasma pressure […]
The Bohm sheath criterion is formulated by using Sagdeev potential approach for electronegative warm plasma under oblique magnetic field and secondary electron emission from the wall. In this model the effect of collisions between positive ions and neutral, ionization, electronegativity, non-extensivity and temperature ratio (positive/negative ion to electron) are also considered to get the exact […]
Laser-plasma interaction is a fascinating subject in view of its various applications in wave generation, particle acceleration, radiation generation, etc. The laser beam gets reflected at the vacuum-plasma interface if the plasma density is equal or larger than the critical density. However, in the presence of strong magnetic field in the order of kilo Tesla, […]
Electron-self-injection in bubble wakefield acceleration is the new concept for acceleration of electrons inside bubble. In this technique, self-injected plasma electrons have been used for acceleration whose advantage is that there is no need of external source of electrons. In our case, we have carried out numerical investigations of self-injected plasma electrons in different shaped […]
The effect of collisions, ionisation and non-extensivity is studied numerically in an electronegative warm plasma associated with electron emission from the wall. Electrostatic potential, space charge density, net negative charge density and emitted electron beam density are plotted with the normalised distance to see the effects of aforesaid parameters The negative ion is described with […]
A modified Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability equation is derived using a three-fluid Hall thruster plasma model by including multi-ionized ions to study the growth rate of the RT instability. For a simplified plasma density and electron drift velocity axial profile, the growth rate for an unstable wave and the condition leading to this instability are discussed. […]
Terahertz radiation finds applications in medical science, spectroscopy, security screening, communication, etc. There are several methods that focus on the interaction of lasers with plasma, and laser beating process is an effective scheme for the Terahertz radiation generation. In this scheme, a resonance between the beating frequency and plasma frequency needs to be achieved. In […]
AbstractThe electron-neutral collisions in the plasma become crucial with regard to the generation of THz radiation when thermal motion of the electrons is considerable. If we look at the mechanism of THz emission, this is only the movement/oscillations of the electrons which is responsible for the excitation of nonlinear current that generated the THz radiation. […]
AbstractBehaviour of sheath formed on two types of probes, namely cylindrical and spherical probes, has been investigated in terms of its thickness, in front of the conducting probes immersed in an electronegative plasma for different negative to positive ion mass ratios, by considering three electronegative gases, i.e. CF4, O2 and C60. Contrary to others’ work, […]
