Ultrarelativistic excitation of beat waves in a hot magnetized plasma

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento D

Summary

A theoretical investigation is made on the nonlinear relativistic excitation of an electrostatic electron plasma wave at the beat frequency of two high-power colinear laser beams in a hot, homogeneous and magnetized plasma. The relativistic Vlasov equation expressed in gyrokinetic variables has been employed to find the nonlinear response of the magnetized plasma electrons. It is noted that the power density associated with the excited beat wave is much higher for the relativistic consideration than that for the nonrelativistic consideration.
