Statistical Mechanics of an Optical Phase Space Compressor
Artem M. Dudarev, M. Marder, Qian Niu +2
We describe the statistical mechanics of a new method to produce very cold atoms or molecules. The method results from trapping a gas in a potential well, and sweeping through the…
Compression of Atomic Phase Space Using an Asymmetric One-Way Barrier
M. G. Raizen, A. M. Dudarev, Qian Niu +1
We show how to construct asymmetric optical barriers for atoms. These barriers can be used to compress phase space of a sample by creating a confined region in space where atoms ca…
Current in Wave Driven Plasmas
Charles F. F. Karney, Nathaniel J. Fisch
A theory for the generation of current in a toroidal plasma by radio-frequency waves is presented. The effect of an opposing electric field is included, allowing the case of time v…
Efficiency of Current Drive by Fast Waves
Charles F. F. Karney, Nathaniel J. Fisch
The Rosenbluth form for the collision operator for a weakly relativistic plasma is derived. The formalism adopted by Antonsen and Chu can then be used to calculate the efficiency o…
