This presentation discusses the fundamental processes involved in pulse-particle interactions, emphasizing particle acceleration and heating mechanisms. By analyzing how velocity shifts of charged particles occur during interactions with electromagnetic (EM) or electrostatic (ES) pulses, we explore applications in cosmic ray acceleration and plasma dynamics. Key topics include the effects of wave symmetry on acceleration mechanisms, cyclotron resonance in dispersive pulses, and the emergence of multi-resonance phenomena in particle velocities. Understanding these interactions can lead to advancements in particle physics and fusion technologies.

<METHOD> • Velocity shifts of particles are calculated after interaction with an ES or EM pulse that is dispersive and propagating. <APPLICATIONS> • particle acceleration (cosmic rays/accelerators) • particle heating (laser fusion etc.) • plasma instabilities and turbulence • plasma processing etc.
Whatyou will learn out of this talk. • What kind of waves have more acceleration mechanisms? => By breaking the symmetry of a wave acceleration mechanisms can be pair-produced. 2. What happens to cyclotron resonance if instead of a sinusoidal wave a pulse is used? • What happens to cyclotorn resonance if wave ampitude becomes greater than the external magnetic field?
METHOD 2: • Equation of motion for a particle with charge q, mass m is solved analytically and numerically in the presence of a generalized wavepacket: • ES , • EM . What do they look like?
<WAVEPACKET> ln = lωo / c = 2.0 <IMPULSE> ln=0.2
<background> ●Acceleration of particles by a standing-wave pulse had been studied (e.g. Morales and Lee, 1974) extreme dispersion:vg =0,vp= ωo/ ko =∞(ko=0) ●Non-dispersive pulse was also studied. (Akimoto, 1997) vg=vp ≠0 ●Then results were extended to dispersive pulse: arbitrary dispersion:-∞<vg,vp< ∞ (ES (EM) cases solved. Akimoto 2002(2003))
sinusoidal wave vs. pulse ■ sinusoidal wave( l → ∞) highly symmetric ⇒no net acceleration ■ nondispersive pulse • transit-time acceleration • reflection
Non-dispersive pulse can accelerate particles via 2 ways. 1. transit-time acceleration(vo≠vp) 2. linear reflection(vo~vp) How about dispersive pulse? 3. Quasi-Trapping [QT] 4. Ponderomotive Reflection [PR]
Quasi-Trapping if vp-vtr < vo < vp+vtr (vo~vp), where vtr= Linear reflection (vo~vp) Nonlinear (ponderomotive) reflection (vo~vg) if vg-vref < vo < vg+vref,
<WAVEPACKET> • Hamiltonian Contoursin Wave Frame
<MONOCYCLE PULSE> • Hamiltonian Contours in Wave Frame
Question: What happens if the pulse is nonlinear EM, & Bo is applied?
<theory> Linear Polarization transit-time acceleration & cyclotron acceleration
NUMERICAL RESULTS We solve the equation of motion numerically as a function of v0, increasing En=. <Parameters> 1. Phase Velocity: Vp=0.1c 2. Group Velocity: Vg=0.1c &0.05c 3. Field Strength: Ωe=ωo 4. Pulse Length: ln=2.0 etc.
NUMERICAL RESULTS En= =0.001 .
En=0.01 En=0.1 Now the center of resonance has moved to =0.1c.
Phase-Trapping IF then
What is the mechanism for multi-peaking? • The band structure becomes more significant as the pulse is elongated. • En=0.01, ln=5 or 10(vg=vp)
ANALYSIS OF PARTICLE VELOCITIES • En=0.01, ln=2
trapping & band structure Owing to trapping, some electrons exit pulse when accelerated, while others do when not. • The trapping period is given by. • If this becomes comparable to the transit time= , the trapping becomes important and multi-resonance occurs.
CONCLUSIONS • AS WAVE IS MADE LESS SYMMETRIC, MORE ACCELERATION MECHANISMS EMERGE. • AS PULSE AMPLITUDE AND/OR PULSE WIDTH ARE ENHANCED, LINEAR CYCLOTRON ACCELERATION BY A PULSE BECOMES NONLINEAR, AND TENDS TO SHOW BAND STRUCTURE. IT IS DUE TO PARTICLE TRAPPING AND THE FINITE SIZE OF PULSE. • AS THE NONLINEARITY IS FURTHER ENHANCED, THE INTERACTION TRANSFORMS INTO PHASE TRAPPING.
