Creating pair plasmas with observable collective effects
Kenan Qu, Sebastian Meuren, Nathaniel J. Fisch
Although existing technology cannot yet directly produce fields at the Schwinger level, experimental facilities can already explore strong-field QED phenomena by taking advantage o…
Guiding center motion for particles in a ponderomotive magnetostatic end plug
T. Rubin, J. M. Rax, N. J. Fisch
The Hamiltonian dynamics of a single particle in a rotating plasma column, interacting with an magnetic multipole is perturbatively solved for up to second order, using the method…
Improved Ion Heating in Fast Ignition by Pulse Shaping
Henry Fetsch, Nathaniel J. Fisch
The fast ignition paradigm for inertial fusion offers increased gain and tolerance of asymmetry by compressing fuel at low entropy and then quickly igniting a small region. Because…
Suppression of Bremsstrahlung losses from relativistic plasma with energy cutoff
Vadim R. Munirov, Nathaniel J. Fisch
We study the effects of redistributing superthermal electrons on Bremsstrahlung radiation from hot relativistic plasma. We consider thermal and nonthermal distribution of electrons…
Fast Correlation Heating in Moderately Coupled Electron-Ion Plasmas
Thomas E. Foster, Henry Fetsch, Nathaniel J. Fisch
If the electrons in a plasma are suddenly heated, the resulting change in Debye shielding causes the ion kinetic energy to quickly increase. For the first time, this correlation he…
The Critical Role of Isopotential Surfaces for Magnetostatic Ponderomotive Forces
Ian E. Ochs, Nathaniel J. Fisch
By producing localized wave regions at the ends of an open-field-line magnetic confinement system, ponderomotive walls can be used to differentially confine different species in th…
