Physics & Astronomy
Energetic neutral atom (ENA) flux from the NASA TWINS mission (and previously the MENA instrument on the NASA IMAGE mission) is projected along the line of sight to the equatorial plane in GSM coordinates. A Maxwellian fit is used to calculate the ion temperature in each equatorial plane bin, creating 2D maps of ion temperatures. The files are IDL .pro scripts that can be read using a text editor. IDL software is required to run. The primary script is twins_master.pro. The scripts call other scripts that were developed by the TWINS mission team as well as publicly available IDL libraries …

High-power laser radiation beams interacting with a rarefied, fully ionized plasmas are essentially unstable. This fact is mainly due to the excitation of various modes of plasma oscillations, most important of which are electron Langmuir waves and ion acoustic waves. The stimulated scattering processes destroy and deplete the pulse in the as it propagates. On the other hand, at the moderate level of instability, spectral properties of the scattered light may serve as optical diagnostics of the pulse propagation dynamics. Knowing the dynamics of the stimulated scattering processes is thus essential for such applications as inertial confinement fusion and laser-plasma …

Interaction of high-power laser radiation with rarefied, fully ionized plasmas is rich in nonlinear collective phenomena. It is essentially three-dimensional and is dominated by the excitation of various modes of plasma oscillations, most important of which are electron Langmuir waves. These waves may trap externally injected electrons or initially quiescent plasma electrons, accelerating them to GeV-scale energies. Laser pulses can also launch collisionless shocks, which may accelerate plasma ions to MeV energies. Furthermore, relativistic mass effect and electron density perturbations by the radiation pressure cause laser pulse self-focusing and filamentation, leading to the radiation pulse self-guiding over many Rayleigh lengths. …

On the basis of the precisely recorded 706.52 nm He I line shape we have obtained the basic plasma parameters i.e. electron temperature (T) and electron density (N) using our new line deconvolution procedure in the case of five various plasmas created in a linear, low–pressure, pulsed arc discharge. Plasma parameters have been also measured using independent experimental diagnostical techniques. Excellent agreement was found among the two sets of the obtained parameters. This enables our deconvolution procedure to recommendation for plasma diagnostical purposes, especially in astrophysics where direct measurements of the plasma parameters (T and …
