Nonlinear Radiation Pressure and Stochasticity in Ultraintense Laser Fields | | Joel E. Moore

13 Feb 1998 | | Journal: | Phys. Rev. E 59, 2281-2285 (1999) | | Subject: | Plasma Physics; Statistical Mechanics | physics.plasm-ph cond-mat.stat-mech | | Abstract: | The radiation force on a single electron in an ultraintense plane wave ($a = eE/mcomega sim 1$) is calculated and shown to be proportional to $a^4$ in the high-$a$ limit for arbitrary waveform and polarization. The cyclotron motion of an electron in a constant magnetic field and an ultraintense plane wave is numerically found to be quasiperiodic even in the high-$a$ limit if the magnetic field is not too strong, as suggested by previous analytical work. A strong magnetic field causes highly chaotic electron motion and the boundary of the highly chaotic region of parameter space is determined numerically. Applications to experiments and astrophysics are briefly discussed. | | Source: | arXiv, physics/9802025 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
