  1. 1. Collisional effects on electrostatic shock waves and heating in laser-generated plasmas

    Författare :Andréas Sundström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; plasma physics; inverse Bremsstrahlung; warm dense matter; binary collisions; electrostatic shocks; laser-plasmas;

    Sammanfattning : Electrostatic shock waves are associated with an electrostatic field structure propagating at supersonic speed through laboratory or astrophysical plasmas. Shock ion acceleration schemes, based on the strong electrostatic field in the shock structure, show promising potential due to the narrow energy spread of accelerated ions – which can be applied in plasma diagnostics, the generation of warm dense matter or medical purposes.

  3. 2. Electrostatic turbulence and electron heating in collisionless shocks

    Författare :Ahmad Lalti; Yuri V. Khotyaintsev; Hans Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysik med inriktning mot rymd- och plasmafysik; Physics with specialization in Space and Plasma Physics;

    Sammanfattning : Collisionless shocks are one of the most peculiar phenomena in space where non-linear collective phenomena in the plasma dominate the dynamics. They are believed to be one of the most efficient particle accelerators in the universe, and have internal dynamics that are yet to be fully explored. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Collisional effects and attosecond diagnostics in laser-generated plasmas

    Författare :Andréas Sundström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; electrostatic shocks; plasma physics; plasma diagnostics; laser-plasmas; attosecond pulses; extreme-ultraviolet; Coulomb collisions;

    Sammanfattning : When matter is radiated by laser light of extreme intensity, it is rapidly ionized, thereby forming a plasma. Such laser-generated plasmas can be used as sources of energetic particles and radiation, or to study astrophysically relevant phenomena in the laboratory and the behavior of matter under extreme conditions.
