To narrow the search results, you can refine the query by specifying the fields to search on. The list of fields is presented above. For example:

You can search across multiple fields at the same time:

logical operators

The default operator is AND.
Operator AND means that the document must match all the elements in the group:

research development

Operator OR means that the document must match one of the values ​​in the group:

study OR development

Operator NOT excludes documents containing this element:

study NOT development

Search type

When writing a query, you can specify the way in which the phrase will be searched. Four methods are supported: search based on morphology, without morphology, search for a prefix, search for a phrase.
By default, the search is based on morphology.
To search without morphology, it is enough to put the "dollar" sign before the words in the phrase:

$ study $ development

To search for a prefix, you need to put an asterisk after the query:

study *

To search for a phrase, you need to enclose the query in double quotes:

" research and development "

Search by synonyms

To include synonyms of a word in the search results, put a hash mark " # " before a word or before an expression in brackets.
When applied to one word, up to three synonyms will be found for it.
When applied to a parenthesized expression, a synonym will be added to each word if one was found.
Not compatible with no-morphology, prefix, or phrase searches.

# study

grouping

Parentheses are used to group search phrases. This allows you to control the boolean logic of the request.
For example, you need to make a request: find documents whose author is Ivanov or Petrov, and the title contains the words research or development:

Approximate word search

For approximate search you need to put a tilde " ~ " at the end of a word in a phrase. For example:

bromine ~

The search will find words such as "bromine", "rum", "prom", etc.
You can optionally specify the maximum number of possible edits: 0, 1, or 2. For example:

bromine ~1

The default is 2 edits.

Proximity criterion

To search by proximity, you need to put a tilde " ~ " at the end of a phrase. For example, to find documents with the words research and development within 2 words, use the following query:

" research development "~2

Expression relevance

To change the relevance of individual expressions in the search, use the sign " ^ " at the end of an expression, and then indicate the level of relevance of this expression in relation to the others.
The higher the level, the more relevant the given expression.
For example, in this expression, the word "research" is four times more relevant than the word "development":

study ^4 development

By default, the level is 1. Valid values ​​are a positive real number.

Search within an interval

To specify the interval in which the value of some field should be, you should specify the boundary values ​​in brackets, separated by the operator TO.
A lexicographic sort will be performed.

Such a query will return results with the author starting from Ivanov and ending with Petrov, but Ivanov and Petrov will not be included in the result.
To include a value in an interval, use square brackets. Use curly braces to escape a value.

  • A MASS QUADRUPOLE SPECTROMETRY INVESTIGATION ON PROTON EMISSION BY NANOSECOND LASER ABLATION

    CARIDI F. - 2015

    A nanosecond pulsed Nd:YAG laser, operating at the fundamental wavelength of 1064 nm and at an intensity of about 1010 W/cm2, was employed to irradiate hydrogenated polymers in vacuum. The produced plasma was characterized in terms of thermal and Coulomb interactions evaluating the equivalent temperature and the acceleration voltage developed in the non-equilibrium plasma core. Particles emission along the normal to the target surface was investigated by measuring, with the mass quadrupole spectrometer Hiden EQP 300, ion energy distributions and fitting experimental data with the “Coulomb-Boltzmann-shifted” function. Time-of-flight technique was employed in order to measure the proton energy and yield. A comparison between experimental results is presented and discussed, with a special regard to the protons emission.

  • ON THE PROBLEMS OF RELATIVISTIC LABORATORY ASTROPHYSICS AND FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS WITH SUPER POWERFUL LASERS

    BULANOV S.V., ESIRKEPOV T. ​​ZH., KANDO M., KOGA J., KONDO K., KORN G. - 2015

    We discuss the ways towards modeling of astrophysical processes and extreme field regimes with super-power lasers. The main attention we pay to the problem of limited similarity in using the dimensionless parameters characterizing the processes in the laser and astrophysical plasmas. As the most typical examples, we address the magnetic reconnection and collisionless shock waves relevant to the problem of ultrarelativistic particle acceleration. In the extreme field limits, we consider the regimes of dominant radiation reaction, changing the electromagnetic wave-matter interaction. In these regimes it, in particular, results in a new powerful source of ultra high brightness gamma-rays and will make possible electron-positron pair creation in vacuum in a multi-photon processes. This will allow modeling under terrestrial laboratory conditions the processes in astrophysical experimental objects and paves the way to verifications using ultra intense lasers as they are currently developed within the ELI project.

  • SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY OF CARBON PLASMA PRODUCED BY FIRST (1064 NM) AND SECOND (532 NM) HARMONICS OF ND: YAG LASER

    ARIF F., HANIF M., SALIK M. - 2015

    In this research work we present the spectroscopic studies of the carbon (C) plasma produced by the first (1064 nm) and second (532 nm) harmonics of a Q-switched Nd: YAG (Quantel Brilliant) pulsed laser having pulse duration of 5 ns and 10 Hz repetition rate which is capable of delivering 400 mJ at 1064 nm, and 200 mJ at 532 nm using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). The laser beam was focused on target material (100% Carbon) by placing it in air at atmospheric pressure. The experimentally observed line profiles of five neutral carbon (C I) lines at 247.85, 394.22, 396.14, 588.95, and 591.25 nm were used to extract the electron temperature (T e) using the Boltzmann plot method and determined its value 9880 and 9400 K respectively for fundamental and second harmonics of the laser. Whereas electron density (N e) has been determined from the Stark broadening profile of neutral carbon line at 247.85 nm. The values ​​of N e at a distancemm from the target surface, for the fundamental laser with pulse energy 130 mJ and second laser with pulse energy 72 mJ are 4.68 × 1017 cm-3 and 5.98 × 1017 cm-3 respectively. This extracted information about T e and N e is useful for the deposition of the carbon thin films using the pulsed laser deposition technique (PLD). Both plasma parameters (T e and N e) have also been calculated by varying distance from the target surface along the line of propagation of plasma plume and also by varying the laser irradiance.

  • ANALYSIS OF THE STABILITY OF THE HOMOGENEOUS STATE OF AANIOTROPIC PLASMA

    Zakharov V.Yu., Stepanov S.E., Chernova T.G. - 2015

    Small-amplitude waves in a collisionless magnetized plasma are considered in the framework of single-fluid anisotropic magnetohydrodynamics, which takes into account the anisotropy of pressure and heat flow. The stability of the homogeneous state of the plasma is analyzed on the basis of the dispersion equation of the 8th degree. Restrictions are obtained on the parameters of the homogeneous state under which the dispersion equation has no complex roots for any value of the angle between the wave vector and the unperturbed magnetic field. The method used also makes it possible to determine the types of waves that lead to instability.

  • ASYMMETRY OF BALMER-ALFA LINE CONTOURS AND RECOVERY OF EFFECTIVE HYDROGEN TEMPERATURES IN TOKAMAK WALL PLASMA

    A. G. Alekseev, A. B. Kukushkin, A. S. Kukushkin, S. V. Lisgo, and V. S. Neverov - 2015

    An algorithm for reconstructing the effective temperatures of hydrogen atoms (and its isotopes) in the near-wall layer of tokamak plasma along the contour of the Balmer-alpha spectral line in the case of its significant spectral asymmetry is proposed. The algorithm uses a parametrization of the line contour asymmetry based on the nonlocality of the penetration of hydrogen neutrals from the wall into the plasma. The accuracy of the algorithm was verified using the data of modeling by the EIRENE code of the velocity distribution function of deuterium neutrals in the near-wall plasma, using the initial data on the main plasma component at the quasi-stationary stage of the ITER inductive operation, calculated by the SOLPS4.3 (B2-EIRENE) code.

  • A POSSIBLE MECHANISM FOR AMPLIFICATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE SHIFT COMPONENT OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD IN THE CURRENT SHEET OF THE EARTH'S MAGNETOSPHERE TAIL

    E. E. Grigorenko, L. M. Zeleny, Kh. V. Malova, and A. Yu. Malykhin - 2015

    The effect of the influence of the longitudinal component of the magnetic field, directed along the current in the current sheet (CS) of the Earth's magnetotail and enhanced near its neutral plane, on the nonadiabatic dynamics of ions during their interaction with the sheet is considered. The results of modeling the motion of nonadiabatic ions in given magnetic configurations, similar to those observed in the CS of the magnetospheric tail by the CLUSTER satellites, showed that in the presence of a certain initial value of the longitudinal component of the magnetic field in the CS, a north-south asymmetry is observed in the reflection/refraction of nonadiabatic ions during their interaction with a layer. The presence of this asymmetry contributes to the formation of an additional system of oppositely directed currents flowing in the northern and southern parts of the plasma sheet (PS) in planes tangential to the CS plane and in directions perpendicular to the direction of current in the CS. The formation of such a current system is possibly responsible for the enhancement and further maintenance of the longitudinal component of the magnetic field near the neutral plane of the CS. The possibility of implementing this scenario is confirmed by the results of the analysis of the CS structure and ion dynamics performed for 17 intervals of CS crossing by the CLUSTER satellite quartet, during which bell-shaped spatial distributions of the longitudinal magnetic field component were observed due to its increase near the CS neutral plane.

  • WAVES GUIDED BY DENSITY DACTS IN A MAGNETIC-ACTIVE PLASMA IN THE NON-RESONANT REGION OF THE WHISTLE FREQUENCY RANGE

    V. A. Eskin, T. M. Zaboronkova, A. V. Kudrin, and O. M. Ostafiychuk - 2015

    The channeled propagation of azimuthally symmetric waves directed by cylindrical density ducts in a magnetically active plasma in the nonresonant region of the whistler frequency range is studied. It is shown that the eigenmodes existing at the considered frequencies in high-density ducts can be described in a simplified way, which greatly simplifies the analysis of the features of their channeled propagation. The results of calculations of the dispersion characteristics and the field structure of whistler modes supported by such ducts are presented.

  • GENERATION OF RUNE ELECTRONS AND X-RAY RADIATION DURING THE BREAKDOWN OF ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE AIR BY VOLTAGE PULSES WITH A FRONT OF ~0.5 µs

    Kostyria I.D., Tarasenko V.F. - 2015

    Experiments were carried out on the generation of a beam of runaway electrons and X-rays in air at atmospheric pressure at a long (~0.5 µs) duration of the voltage pulse front. It is shown that the use of a cathode with a small radius of curvature reduces the intensity of the runaway electron beam and X-rays. It has been established that at high voltage amplitudes across the gap (Um ~100 kV), the breakdown of the gap, the formation of a spark channel, and the generation of a beam of runaway electrons occur in no more than 10 ns. Behind the anode at high Um, which was achieved by increasing the size of the cathode and the gap between the electrodes, an ultrashort avalanche electron beam with a relatively short pulse duration at half maximum (up to ~100 ps) was recorded. At voltages of ~50 kV, a second regime of gap breakdown was detected, in which a beam of runaway electrons with a pulse duration at half maximum of ~2 ns was detected. It is shown that the duration of the X-ray pulse in this mode increases to ~100 ns at half maximum. It has been established that the energy of the main part of the runaway electrons decreases with increasing voltage pulse front, and amounted to ≤30 keV in the first regime, and ≤10 keV in the second.

  • DYNAMICS OF HYBRID X-PINCHES

    A. V. Agafonov, P. A. Gordan, G. V. Ivanenkov, A. D. Cahill, A. R. Mingaleev, S. A. Pikuz, V. M. Romanova, V. Stepnievsky ., D. A. Hammer, K. L. Hoyt, and T. A. Shelkovenko - 2015

    Experimental and numerical studies of the dynamics of a new variety of pinch objects hybrid X-pinches have been carried out. The initial configuration of hybrid X-pinches (HXP) is a high-current diode with conical tungsten electrodes separated by a gap of about 13 mm, connected by a wire with a diameter of 20100 µm. In previous works, it was shown that with a simpler initial configuration compared to the standard X-pinch, a hot spot with high plasma parameters is also formed in the HXP. At present, all the details of the HXP dynamics have not been studied, but the main factors influencing their formation have been elucidated both in experiments and in MHD calculations. The formation of a specific pressure profile of the near-electrode plasma, which occurs after the explosion of the wire, is studied experimentally and theoretically. It is shown that its effect on the expanding plasma of the wire is an important factor that makes it possible to combine the standard and hybrid X-pinches into the general class of loads of pulsed devices. The practical identity of the final processes of formation and parameters of hot spots of standard and hybrid X-pinches was also established.

  • DYNAMICS OF PONDEROMOTOR ACCELERATION OF IONS IN A LASER-PLASMA CHANNEL

    Bychenkov V.Yu., KOVALEV V.F. - 2015

    An analytical solution of the Cauchy problem for the kinetic equation for ions is constructed, which describes their radial acceleration under the action of the ponderomotive force of a laser beam propagating in a channeled manner in a transparent plasma. For the axisymmetric geometry of the laser-plasma channel, the temporal and spatial dependences of the ion distribution function are obtained and their integral characteristics, such as density, average velocity, and energy spectrum, are found. For a quasi-stationary laser beam, the formation of a density peak near the channel boundary and the effect of ion flow reversal are described analytically.

  • PLASMA EQUILIBRIUM PROBLEMS WITH ANISOTROPIC PRESSURE AND ROTATION IN THE TOKAMAK AND THEIR NUMERICAL SOLUTION

    Ivanov A.A., Martynov A.A., Medvedev S.Yu., Poshekhonov Yu.Yu. - 2015

    In the MHD theory of plasma in tokamaks, the plasma pressure is usually assumed to be isotropic. However, plasma heating by neutral beam injection and RF heating can lead to strong anisotropy of plasma parameters and plasma rotation. The theory of MHD equilibrium, taking into account plasma inertia and pressure anisotropy, began to be developed quite a long time ago, but until recently it has not been consistently applied in computational codes for engineering calculations of equilibrium and plasma evolution in a tokamak. This article provides a detailed derivation of the equation for the equilibrium of an axisymmetric plasma in the general view(with arbitrary rotation and anisotropic pressure); a specialized version of the SPIDER code is presented and an original method for calculating equilibria with anisotropic pressure for a given profile of the stability margin factor is proposed. Examples of calculations are also given and the results obtained are discussed.

  • ON THE QUESTION OF MODULATION EXCITATION OF IRREGULARITIES IN THE PLASMA OF A DUSTY IONOSPHERE

    S. I. Kopnin, T. I. Morozova, and S. I. Popel - 2015

    The mechanism of formation of inhomogeneities in the concentrations of electrons and ions in a dusty ionosphere as a result of the development of the modulation interaction of electromagnetic waves associated with the excitation of disturbances with frequencies in the region of dusty sound waves is considered. An estimate of the inhomogeneities of electron concentrations is obtained on the basis of calculations performed for the case of monochromatic spectra of electromagnetic radiation from heating facilities at altitudes of 80 km and 100 km. The possibility of excitation of sufficiently intense inhomogeneities of the electron and ion concentrations (δne(i) ne(i) ≈ 0.05) at altitudes of 80–100 km as a result of the development of modulation interaction is shown. The ranges of applicability of the method presented in the work are determined.

  • ON THE QUESTION OF SCREENING OF NEUTRAL FLUXES IN THE U-3M TORSATRON

    DREVAL N.B. - 2015

    The volume of the vacuum chamber of the U-3M torsatron is about 70 m3, and the plasma volume is about 0.3 m3. The presence of a huge buffer volume, which is the chamber, forms a significant flow of neutrals into the U-3M plasma. Part of this flow collides with the helical conductors of the torsatron located in front of the plasma. This modifies the dynamics of the influx of neutrals into the plasma. Screening of the flow of molecules from the buffer volume of the chamber to the plasma region was estimated by numerical calculations. Only about 10% of the incident flux enters the plasma volume. Estimates show that about 20% of atoms fly out of the region bounded by helical conductors without colliding with them. Under these conditions, helical conductors have a significant effect on the neutral flux. The mode of hot low-density plasma created by a loop antenna is considered. In this mode, the spatial distribution of the molecular concentration created by the flow of molecules from the buffer volume of the chamber passing through the helical conductors is calculated. The contribution of flows generated on the lateral and internal surfaces of helical conductors is considered. Calculations show that the shape of the spatial distribution of the molecular concentration differs significantly from the shape of the magnetic surfaces.

    In order to control the discharge flow mode, a small-sized controllable spark gap was placed in an external uniform magnetic field. In a magnetic field of such a simple spatial configuration, it turned out to be possible to suppress the localization effect of the switched current flow region by repeatedly repeating the operating cycle of the spark gap.

  • METHODS AND RESULTS OF INVESTIGATION OF THE EMISSION SPECTRA OF MEGA-AMPERE Z-PINCHES AT THE ANGARA-5-1 FACILITY

    The methods and results of studying the spectral composition of radiation from high-current Z-pinches, which differ significantly in atomic composition, are described. In order to cover a wide spectral range (E ν = 30-3000 eV), two diagnostic techniques were used: a transmission grating and a reflective mica crystal. The radiation characteristics are determined by the atomic composition of the pinch: at currents of 2–3 MA for light materials (Al), the “hard” radiation edge has a linear shape with pronounced K-lines, while for heavy materials (W) the spectrum is concentrated in a “softer” energy region quanta and has a quasi-continuous character. To determine the plasma parameters, two methods of processing the obtained spectra were used. The parameters of the Al plasma were determined by traditional methods from the ratio of the intensity of the K lines of Al, taking into account the transparency of the plasma for quanta of a given energy. The W-plasma spectra were compared with the results of modeling the pinch compression process, which, along with magnetohydrodynamics, included plasma radiation processes. The applicability of these spectral analysis methods is discussed.

  • SIMULATION OF VARIOUS SCENARIOS OF THE EQUILIBRIUM OF A THIN CURRENT SHEET IN THE EARTH'S MAGNETOSPHERE TAIL

    L. M. Zeleny, Kh. V. Malova, V. Yu. Popov, and A. A. Ulkin - 2015

    The Earth's magnetosphere is an open dynamic system constantly interacting with the solar wind - a plasma flow from the Sun. Some plasma processes in it are of an explosive, spontaneous nature, others develop rather slowly compared to the characteristic times of motion of plasma particles in it. The large-scale current sheet in the magnetotail, both during quiet periods of time and during geomagnetic disturbances, can be in an almost equilibrium state, and the changes occurring with it can be considered quasi-static. Thus, under certain conditions, the current sheet of the magnetospheric tail can be described as a plasma equilibrium system. Its state depends on various parameters, in particular, those that determine the dynamics of charged particles. Having singled out the main control parameters, it is possible to study the structure and properties of the current equilibrium. This work is devoted to self-consistent modeling of an equilibrium thin current sheet (ETS) of the plasma tail of the Earth's magnetosphere, the thickness of which is comparable to the ion gyroradius. The study of the dependence of the TCS structure on the parameters characterizing the dynamics of particles and the geometry of the magnetic field is the main goal of this work. A numerical hybrid self-consistent TCS model is constructed in which the tension of the magnetic field lines is balanced by the inertia of the ions moving through the layer. The dynamics of ions is considered in the quasi-adiabatic approximation, and the motion of electrons is considered in the approximation of a conducting liquid. Depending on the values ​​of the adiabaticity parameter, which determines the nature of the motion of plasma particles, and the dimensionless normal component of the magnetic field, the following scenarios are considered: A) the adiabaticity parameter is proportional to the particle energy; ; B) the particle energy is fixed, while the adiabaticity parameter is proportional. The structure of the current sheet and the dynamics of particles in it depending on the change in parameters and and the dynamics of particles in it depending on the change in parameters are studied. It is shown that in the first scenario, with an increase in the adiabaticity parameter, the thickness of the current sheet decreases due to a decrease in the ion gyroradii. Correspondingly, the radius of curvature of magnetic field lines decreases, and this leads to an increase in the contribution of drift electron currents near the neutral plane. Numerical calculations have shown that current equilibria can exist in the region. At , the contribution of electron drift currents to the total current density is much greater than that of ions; the movement of the latter acquires a chaotic character. For even larger values ​​of the parameter, no equilibrium solutions have been found within the framework of this one-dimensional model. Thus, the value of the parameter turned out to be the upper limit of applicability of the quasiadiabatic model of the current sheet. In scenario B, an increase in the parameter leads to the appearance of a large number of quasi-trapped ions in the current sheet, as a result of which the current sheet thickens and the current density amplitude decreases. As a result, equilibrium solutions exist in a much narrower parametric region. The consequences of the existence of parametric boundaries of equilibrium solutions for the TCS under real geomagnetic conditions are discussed.

  • ON THE ERRORS OF MEASUREMENTS OF PARTICLE CONCENTRATIONS BY THE METHOD OF LIGHT ABSORPTION

    OCHKIN V.N. - 2015

    The accuracy of absorption measurements of particle concentrations in a selected quantum state is analyzed as a function of the amount of light absorption by an object. Errors associated with finite accuracy in real measurements of the intensity of light passing through a medium in the presence of noise of various nature in the detected signal are considered. The optimal values ​​of the absorption values ​​and the multiplication factors of errors when deviating from them are indicated.
