Thermonuclear Fusion Triggered by Collapsing Standing Whistler Waves in Magnetized Overdense Plasmas
Takayoshi Sano, Shinsuke Fujioka, Yoshitaka Mori +2
Thermal fusion plasmas initiated by standing whistler waves are investigated numerically by two- and one-dimensional Particle-in-Cell simulations. When a standing whistler wave col…
Ultrafast Wave-Particle Energy Transfer in the Collapse of Standing Whistler Waves
Takayoshi Sano, Masayasu Hata, Daiki Kawahito +2
Efficient energy transfer from electromagnetic waves to ions has been demanded to control laboratory plasmas for various applications and could be useful to understand the nature o…
Broadening of Cyclotron Resonance Conditions in the Relativistic Interaction of an Intense Laser with Overdense Plasmas
Takayoshi Sano, Yuki Tanaka, Natsumi Iwata +4
The interaction of dense plasmas with an intense laser under a strong external magnetic field has been investigated. When the cyclotron frequency for the ambient magnetic field is…
Bow wave from ultra-intense electromagnetic pulses in plasmas
T. Zh. Esirkepov, Y. Kato, S. V. Bulanov
We show a new effect of the bow wave excitation by an intense short laser pulse propagating in underdense plasma. Due to spreading of the laser pulse energy in transverse direction…
