Wakefield acceleration in atmospheric plasmas: a possible source of MeV electrons
M. Arrayás, D. Cubero, R. Seviour +1
Intense electromagnetic pulses interacting with a plasma can create a wake of plasma oscillations. Electrons trapped in such oscillations can be accelerated under certain condition…
Photoionization effects in streamer discharges
M. Arrayas, M. A. Fontelos, J. L. Trueba
In this paper we study the effects of photoionization processes on the propagation of both negative and positive streamer discharges. We show that negative fronts accelerate in the…
Power laws and self-similar behavior in negative ionization fronts
Manuel Arrayás, Marco A. Fontelos, José L. Trueba
We study anode-directed ionization fronts in curved geometries. When the magnetic effects can be neglected, an electric shielding factor determines the behavior of the electric fie…
Ionization fronts in negative corona discharges
Manuel Arrayas, Marco A. Fontelos, Jose L. Trueba
In this paper we use a hydrodynamic minimal streamer model to study negative corona discharge. By reformulating the model in terms of a quantity called shielding factor, we deduce…
On electromagnetic models of ball lightning with topological structure
J. M. Donoso, A. Fernandez-Ranada, J. L. Trueba
It has been long admitted that a consequence of the virial theorem is that there can be no equilibrium configurations of a system of charges in electromagnetic interaction in the a…
