Finite Orbital Angular momentum Bessel beams propagating along light-cone coordinates

Felipe A. Asenjo, Swadesh M. Mahajan

New solutions for Bessel electromagnetic beams, propagating along the light cones, are investigated. Of the variety of structures possible in the light cone variables, the one invo…

Nonlinear Frequency Shifts due to Phase Coherent Interactions in Incompressible Hall MHD Turbulence

Erik C. Hansen, Prerana Sharma, Swadesh M. Mahajan

Turbulence in the magnetized plasma is well understood to be the consequence of wave interactions. When the Hall effect is added to the minimum magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), the MHD…

Electromagnetic plasma wave modes propagating along light-cone coordinates

Felipe A. Asenjo, Swadesh M. Mahajan

We present new electromagnetic plasma wavepacket solutions that propagates in one time and one space coordinates. Differently to the usual plane wave solution, which is written in…

Dark energy as a battery for magnetic field generation in plasmas

Nicolás Villarroel-Sepúlveda, Pablo S. Moya, Felipe A. Asenjo +1

It is shown that in the spacetime dominated by a cosmological constant, in the far region of a Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole, a seed magnetic field can be generated in an ambi…

Upshifted frequency of electromagnetic plasma waves due to reflecting gravitational waves acting as almost-luminal mirrors

Felipe A. Asenjo, Swadesh M. Mahajan

We show that dispersive gravitational waves, as a background spacetime, can reflect electromagnetic waves in a plasma. This reflection upshifts the frequency of the reflected wave,…

Quantum spirals

Z. Yoshida, S. M. Mahajan

Quantum systems often exhibit fundamental incapability to entertain vortex. The Meissner effect, a complete expulsion of the magnetic field (the electromagnetic vorticity), for ins…

A Relativistic Plasma Polarizer: Impact of Temperature Anisotropy on Relativistic Transparency

David J. Stark, Chinmoy Bhattacharjee, Alexey V. Arefiev +2

3D particle-in-cell simulations demonstrate that the enhanced transparency of a relativistically hot plasma is sensitive to how the energy is partitioned between different degrees…

Local thermodynamics of a magnetized, anisotropic plasma

R. D. Hazeltine, S. M. Mahajan, P. J. Morrison

An expression for the internal energy of a fluid element in a weakly coupled, magnetized, anisotropic plasma is derived from first principles. The result is a function of entropy,…
