Title: Similarity Laws for Collisionless Interaction of Superstrong Electromagnetic Fields with a Plasma

Journal Article · · Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion
OSTI ID:887284

Several similarity laws for the collisionless interaction of ultra-intense electromagnetic fields with a plasma of an arbitrary initial shape is presented. Both ultra-relativistic and non-relativistic cases are covered. The ion motion is included. A brief discussion of possible ways of experimental verification of scaling laws is presented. The results can be of interest for experiments and numerical simulations in the areas of particle acceleration, harmonic generation, and Coulomb explosion of clusters.
