Aspects of Electron Acoustic Wave Physics in Laser Backscatter from Plasmas
N. J. Sircombe, T. D. Arber, R. O. Dendy
Recent experimental results from the Trident laser confirm the importance of kinetic effects in determining laser reflectivities at high intensities. Examples observed include scat…
Stabilisation of BGK modes by relativistic effects
N. J. Sircombe, M. E. Dieckmann, P. K. Shukla +1
We investigate the acceleration of electrons via their interaction with electrostatic waves, driven by the relativistic Buneman instability, in a system dominated by counter-propag…
Phase speed of electrostatic waves: The critical parameter for efficient electron surfing acceleration
M E Dieckmann, N J Sircombe, M Parviainen +2
Particle acceleration by means of non-linear plasma wave interactions is of great topical interest. Accordingly, in this paper we focus on the electron surfing process. Self-consis…
Accelerated electron populations formed by Langmuir wave-caviton interactions
N. J. Sircombe, T. D. Arber, R. O. Dendy
Direct numerical simulations of electron dynamics in externally driven electrostatic waves have been carried out using a relativistic two-fluid one-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson code.…
