Interaction of Strong Electromagnetic Waves with Unmagnetized Pair Plasmas
Navin Sridhar, Emanuele Sobacchi, Lorenzo Sironi +3
We investigate analytically and numerically the interaction of strong electromagnetic waves with unmagnetized pair plasmas. We show that the interaction is governed by a single non…
Induced Scattering of Strong Waves in Pair Plasmas
Masanori Iwamoto, Kunihito Ioka
We study induced (stimulated) scattering of linearly polarized, strong electromagnetic waves in pair plasmas, which is crucial for understanding the propagation of fast radio burst…
One-dimensional PIC Simulation of Induced Compton Scattering in Magnetized Electron-Positron Pair Plasma
Shoma F. Kamijima, Rei Nishiura, Masanori Iwamoto +1
We investigate induced Compton scattering of a circularly polarized Alfvén wave propagating in a magnetized electron-positron pair plasma using one-dimensional Particle-in-Cell (P…
Filamentation of the electromagnetic precursor in relativistic quasi-perpendicular electron-positron shocks
Emanuele Sobacchi, Yuri Lyubarsky, Lorenzo Sironi +1
We present a scenario that could explain non-thermal particle acceleration in relativistic quasi-perpendicular electron-positron shocks, such as the termination shock of pulsar win…
Induced Compton scattering in magnetized electron and positron pair plasma
Rei Nishiura, Shoma F. Kamijima, Masanori Iwamoto +1
A formulation for the parametric instability of electromagnetic (EM) waves in magnetized pair plasma is developed. The linear growth rate of induced Compton scattering is derived a…
