Pitch-angle diffusion of ions via nonresonant interaction with Alfvénic turbulence
The present discussion revisits the problem of nonresonant heating of ions by Alfvénic turbulence. It is shown that in the limit of weak Alfvénic turbulence it is appropriate to describe...

Stuart's weakly nonlinear theory is generalized to study single-mode ablative Rayleigh–Taylor instability (ARTI) at a broad ablation front caused by preheating. The thickness effect of the ablat...

When two pump laser pulses intersect in an underdense plasma, plasma Bragg grating (PBG) is induced by the slow-varying ponderomotive force [Z. M. Sheng et al., Appl. Phys. B: Lasers Opt. 77, 673 (2003)]. Such a PBG can be considered as a one-dimensional (1D) plasma photonic crystal (PPC). Here the bandgap characteristic of 1D PPC composed of plasma layers of different densities is investigated theoretically and numerically. It is found that when the maximum density is lower than the critical density of the pump laser, there is only one normal-incidence bandgap. When the maximum density is higher than the critical density of the pump laser, high-order bandgaps are found. The theoretical results are verified by 1D particle-in-cell simulations. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
