Rainich-Type Conditions For Null Electrovacuum Spacetimes Ii, Charles G. Torre
Rainich-Type Conditions For Null Electrovacuum Spacetimes Ii, Charles G. Torre
Research Vignettes
In this second of two worksheets I continue describing local Rainich-type conditions which are necessary and sufficient for the metric to define a null electrovacuum. In other words, these conditions, which I will call the null electrovacuum conditions, guarantee the existence of a null electromagnetic field such that the metric and electromagnetic field satisfy the Einstein-Maxwell equations. When it exists, the electromagnetic field is easily constructed from the metric. In this worksheet I consider the null electrovacuum conditions which apply when a certain null geodesic congruence determined by the metric is twisting. I shall illustrate the these conditions using a …
Hamamatsu Flash4.0 Scmos Exposure Time Series, George Mcnamara
Hamamatsu Flash4.0 Scmos Exposure Time Series, George Mcnamara
George McNamara
Hamamatsu FLASH4.0 scientific cMOS camera exposure time series are pairs of images of:
1 millisecond (00,001ms series)
10 millisecond (00,010ms series)
100 millisecond (00,100ms series)
1,000 millisecond (01,000ms series)
4,000 millisecond (04,000ms series)
10,000 millisecond (10,000ms series)
I also included:
* difference images (exposure 2 minus exposure 1 plus 100 intensity values).
* a series of eleven 1 second (1,000 ms) exposure time images in a multi-plane TIFF file (different images than the pair of 1,000ms images above).
* Stack Arithmetic: Median, Average, Minimum, Maximum, of the eleven plane series (Stack Arithmetic is a MetaMorph command).
These images were acquired …

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. …
