Lasing conditions of a free electron laser with helical wiggler
Posted on December 30th, 2009 No commentsNasser Sepehri Javan<br/> In this investigation the problem of the lasing of a free electron laser with magnetostatic helical wiggler is studied. In the linear approximation, the threshold conditions of the lasing for Raman and Compton regimes under excitation of the forward and backward electromagnetic wave mechanicss are achieved. I … [Phys.

Rayleigh scattering of a Gaussian laser beam from expanding clusters
Posted on December 30th, 2009 No commentsManoj Kumar and V. K. Tripathi<br/> Rayleigh scattering of an intense laser with Gaussian temporal and radial profiles from clustered gases is examined. The laser quickly converts the clusters into plasma balls with electron cloud of each ball executing large excursions about the ion sphere. The laser also heats the electrons. As the … [Phys.

Self-consistent modeling of jet formation process in the nanosecond laser pulse regime
Posted on December 30th, 2009 No commentsC. Mezel, L. Hallo, A. Souquet, J. Breil, D. Hebert et al.<br/> Laser induced forward transfer (LIFT) is a direct printing technique. Because of its high application potential, interest continues to increase. LIFT is routinely used in printing, spray generation and thermal-spike sputtering. Biological material such as cells and proteins have already been transfe … [Phys. Plasmas 16, 123112 (2009)] published Wed Dec 30, 2009.

Self-consistent poloidal electric field and neoclassical angular momentum flux
Posted on December 30th, 2009 No commentsS. K. Wong and V. S. Chan<br/> A complete expression is obtained for the poloidal variation of the electrostatic potential in the banana regime for large aspect ratio flux surfaces using the method of matched asymptotic expansions. The result exhibits a finite discontinuity at the innermost point of a flux surface instead of a di … [Phys. Plasmas 16, 122507 (2009)] published Wed Dec 30, 2009.

Electrostatic instabilities in circularly polarized microwave produced magnetized plasmas
Posted on December 30th, 2009 No commentsM. Ghorbanalilu and B. Shokri<br/> The growth rate of electrostatic instabilities of electron oscillation and low-frequency (LF) ion oscillation are investigated for a plasma produced by a circularly polarized microwave mechanics field during the breakdown process. The plasma is magnetized by an external homogenous static magnetic field on the … [Phys. Plasmas 16, 123505 (2009)] published Wed Dec 30, 2009.
