Enhanced collisionless laser absorption in strongly magnetized plasmas
Lili Manzo, Matthew R. Edwards, Yuan Shi
Strongly magnetizing a plasma adds a range of waves that do not exist in unmagnetized plasmas and enlarges the laser-plasma interaction (LPI) landscape. In this paper, we use parti…
Optical gravity in a graviton spacetime
Matthew R. Edwards
While the Hubble redshift is generally linked to expansion of spacetime, an open question concerns where the energy lost from redshifted photons, gravitons and gravitational waves…
Confinement of relativistic electrons in a magnetic mirror en route to a magnetized relativistic pair plasma
J. von der Linden, G. Fiksel, J. Peebles +5
Creating magnetized relativistic pair plasma in the laboratory would enable the exploration of unique plasma physics relevant to some of the most energetic events in the universe.…
Dispersion Calibration for the National Ignition Facility Electron Positron Proton Spectrometers for Intense Laser Matter Interactions
Jens von der Linden, José Ramos Mendez, Bruce Faddegon +7
Electron-positron pairs, produced in intense laser-solid interactions, are diagnosed using magnetic spectrometers with image plates, such as the National Ignition Facility (NIF) El…
Laser Amplification in Strongly-Magnetized Plasma
Matthew R. Edwards, Yuan Shi, Julia M. Mikhailova +1
We consider backscattering of laser pulses in strongly-magnetized plasma mediated by kinetic magnetohydrodynamic waves. Magnetized low-frequency scattering, which can occur when th…
Theory of electromagnetic wave frequency upconversion in dynamic media
Kenan Qu, Qing Jia, Matthew R. Edwards +1
Frequency upconversion of an electromagnetic wave can occur in ionized plasma with decreasing electric permittivity and in split-ring resonator-structure metamaterials with decreas…
X-Ray Amplification by Stimulated Brillouin Scattering
Matthew R. Edwards, Julia M. Mikhailova, Nathaniel J. Fisch
Plasma-based parametric amplification using stimulated Brillouin scattering offers a route to coherent x-ray pulses orders-of-magnitude more intense than those of the brightest ava…
Short-Pulse Amplification by Strongly-Coupled Stimulated Brillouin Scattering
Matthew R. Edwards, Qing Jia, Julia M. Mikhailova +1
We examine the feasibility of strongly-coupled stimulated Brillouin scattering as a mechanism for the plasma-based amplification of sub-picosecond pulses. In particular, we use flu…
Strongly Enhanced Stimulated Brillouin Backscattering in an Electron-Positron Plasma
Matthew R. Edwards, Nathaniel J. Fisch, Julia M. Mikhailova
Stimulated Brillouin backscattering of light is shown to be drastically enhanced in electron-positron plasmas, in contrast to the suppression of stimulated Raman scattering. A gene…
Does the Hubble Redshift Flip Photons and Gravitons?
Matthew R. Edwards
Due to the Hubble redshift, photon energy, chiefly in the form of CMBR photons, is currently disappearing from the universe at the rate of nearly 10^55 erg s^-1. An ongoing problem…
