Stationary electron vortex states in a plasma bubble field
Hui-Dong Huang, Qi Meng, Zhi-Bin Wang +3
Plasma wakefield accelerators (PWFAs) offer accelerating gradients of 10-100~GV/m and relativistically propagating plasma bubbles capable of confining charged particles. We study t…

Robustness of Off-Axis Electron Vortices in Nonuniform Magnetic Fields
Hui-Dong Huang, Qi Meng, Zhi-Bin Wang +3
Rotational symmetry protects the topological charge of on-axis electron vortices but not of off-axis vortices. We identify an additional SU(1,1) dynamical invariant that guarantees…

Ionization-Induced Electrostatic Hose Instability in Electron-Beam-Sustained Plasmas
Jia-Hong Chen, Yi Yu, Jian Chen +1
We report the discovery of a previously unrecognized electrostatic hose instability in electron-beam-sustained plasmas, driven by the coupling between the electron beam centroid an…
