Abstract

A scheme of acceleration of electrons generated during ionization of krypton by nearly flat radial and nearly flat temporal laser pulse profiles has been suggested. The energy spectrum of the electrons suggests that energy of the electrons is higher for a nearly flat temporal profile than that for a nearly flat radial profile. The suppression of scattering of the electrons is better for a nearly flat radial profile than that for a nearly flat temporal profile. The energy of the electrons increases, scattering decreases, and beam quality improves with an increase in flatness of radial and temporal profiles.

Self-injection and acceleration of electrons during ionization of gas atoms by a short laser pulse

Journal Article Singh, K - Physics of Plasmas

Using a relativistic three-dimensional single-particle code, acceleration of electrons created during the ionization of nitrogen and oxygen gas atoms by a laser pulse has been studied. Barrier suppression ionization model has been used to calculate ionization time of the bound electrons. The energy gained by the electrons peaks for an optimum value of laser spot size. The electrons created near the tail do not gain sufficient energy for a long duration laser pulse. The electrons created at the tail of pulse escape before fully interacting with the trailing part of the pulse for a short duration laser pulse, which causesmore »« less

Optical emissions and ionization profiles during an intense pulsating aurora

Journal Article Sears, R; Vondrak, R - J. Geophys. Res.; (United States)

Coordinated spectrophotometric and incoherent scatter radar measurements were made of an intense early-morning pulsating aurora at Chatanika, Alaska. Both instruments were operated simultaneously with temporal resolution of 1 s and were boresighted at geomagnetic zenith. The goals of the collaborative experimental were to determine the total energy flux E/sub t/ and the characteristic energy parameter ..cap alpha.. of the precipitating electrons on a time scale smaller than the pulsation duration and to investigate the response of the ionospheric electron density on a comparable time scale. The relationship between total energy flux and the characteristic energy parameter suggests that during thesemore »« less

Single attosecond burst generation during ionization of excited atoms by intense ultrashort laser pulses

Journal Article Emelin, M; Sergeev, A - Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics

We develop an analytical approach to describing the generation of a single attosecond burst during barrier-suppression ionization of a hydrogen atom by an intense laser pulse. We derive analytical expressions that describe the evolution of the electron wave packet in the time interval between the detachment from the atom and the collision with the parent ion for an arbitrary initial atomic state by assuming the atom to be fully ionized in one laser-field half-period. For various s-states, we derive expressions for the profile of the attosecond burst generated when the electron packet collides with the ion and analyze the dependencemore »« less

Extending the low-recycling, flat temperature profile regime in the lithium tokamak experiment-β (LTX-β) with ohmic and neutral beam heating

Journal Article Boyle, D.; Anderson, J.; Banerjee, S.; ... - Nuclear Fusion

Recent experiments in the Lithium Tokamak Experiment-β (LTX-β) have extended the duration, performance, operating conditions, and diagnosis of the flat-temperature profile, low-recycling regime first observed in LTX. As expected, Li retains hydrogen and suppresses edge neutral cooling, allowing increased edge electron temperature, roughly equal to the core Te. Flat temperature profiles had been obtained transiently in LTX, as the plasma density decayed following the cessation of edge gas puffing. Careful control over the fueling in LTX-β has now been shown to sustain the flat Te profile and hot edge unique to the low-recycling regime for multiple confinement times in highmore »« less
