Abstract:

Laser plasma interaction experiments have been performed using an fs Titanium Sapphire laser. Plasmas have been generated from planar PMMA targets using single laser pulses with 3.3 mJ pulse energy, 50 fs pulse duration at 800 nm wavelength. The electron density distributions of the plasmas in different delay times have been characterized by means of Nomarski Interferometry. Experimental data were compared with hydrodynamic simulation. First results to characterize the plasma density and temperature as a function of space and time are obtained. This work aims to generate plasmas in the warm dense matter (WDM) regime at near solid-density in an ultra-fast laser target interaction process. Plasmas under these conditions can serve as targets to develop X-ray Thomson scattering as a plasma diagnostic tool, e.g., using the Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) free-electron laser (FLASH) at Dentsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) Hamburg.

Abstract:

Particle acceleration by plasma waves and spontaneous wave generation are fundamental energy and momentum exchange processes in collisionless plasmas. Such wave-particle interactions occur ubiquitously in space. We present ultrafast measurements in Earth’s magnetosphere by the Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft that enabled quantitative evaluation of energy transfer in interactions associated with electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves. The observed ion distributions are not symmetric around the magnetic field direction but are in phase with the plasma wave fields. The wave-ion phase relations demonstrate that a cyclotron resonance transferred energy from hot protons to waves, which in turn nonresonantly accelerated cold He+ to energies up to ~2 kilo–electron volts. These observations provide direct quantitative evidence for collisionless energy transfer in plasmas between distinct particle populations via wave-particle interactions.

Abstract:

This paper deals with the realization of a CA model of the physical interactions occurring when high-power laser pulses are focused on plasma targets. The low-level and microscopic physical laws of interactions among the plasma and the photons in the pulse are described. In particular, electron–electron interaction via the Coulomb force and photon–electron interaction due to ponderomotive forces are considered. Moreover, the dependence on time and space of the index of refraction is taken into account, as a consequence of electron motion in the plasma. Ions are considered as a fixed background. Simulations of these interactions are provided in different conditions and the macroscopic dynamics of the system, in agreement with the experimental behavior, are evidenced.

Abstract:

Plasma turbulence consists of an ensemble of enhanced, broadband electromagnetic fluctuations, typically driven by multi-wave interactions which transfer energy in wavevector space via non- linear cascade processes. Temperature anisotropy instabilities in collisionless plasmas are driven by quasi-linear wave–particle interactions which transfer particle kinetic energy to field fluctuation energy; the resulting enhanced fluctuations are typically narrowband in wavevector magnitude and direction. Whatever their sources, short-wavelength fluctuations are those at which charged particle kinetic, that is, velocity-space, properties are important; these are generally wavelengths of the order of or shorter than the ion inertial length or the thermal ion gyroradius. The purpose of this review is to summarize and interpret recent computational results concerning short-wavelength plasma turbulence, short-wavelength temperature anisotropy instabilities and relationships between the two phenomena.

Abstract:

AbstractWe develop a two dimensional, self-consistent, compressible fluid model to study evolution of Alfvenic modes in partially ionized astrophysical and space plasmas. The partially ionized plasma consists mainly of electrons, ions and significant neutral atoms. The nonlinear interactions amongst these species take place predominantly through direct collision or charge exchange processes. Our model uniquely describe the interaction processes between two distinctly evolving fluids. In our model, the electrons and ions are described by a single-fluid compressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model and are coupled self-consistently to the neutral fluid via compressible hydrodynamic equations. Both plasma and neutral fluids are treated with different energy equations that adequately enable us to monitor non-adiabatic and thermal energy exchange processes between these two distinct fluids. Based on our self-consistent model, we find that the propagation speed of Alfvenic modes in space and astrophysical plasma is slowed down because these waves are damped predominantly due to direct collisions with the neutral atoms. Consequently, energy transfer takes place between plasma and neutral fluids. We describe the mode coupling processes that lead to the energy transfer between the plasma and neutral and corresponding spectral features.

Abstract:

AbstractWe have developed a massively parallelized fully three-dimensional (3D) compressible Hall–magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code to investigate inertial range electromagnetic wave cascades and dissipative processes in the regime, where characteristic length scales associated with plasma fluctuations are smaller than ion gyroradii. Such regime is ubiquitously present in the solar wind and many other collisionless space plasmas. Particularly, in the solar wind, the high time resolution databases depict a spectral break near the end of the 5/3 spectrum that corresponds to a high-frequency regime where the electromagnetic turbulent cascades cannot be explained by the usual MHD models. This refers to a second inertial range, where turbulent cascades follow a k−7/3 (where k is a wavenumber) spectrum in which the characteristic electromagnetic fluctuations evolve typically on kinetic Alfvén time scales. In this paper, we describe results from our 3D compressible Hall–MHD simulations that explain the observed k−7/3 spectrum in the solar wind plasma, energy cascade, anisotropy, and other spectral features.

Abstract:

Magnetometry in space exploration is a field utilizing physical laws of magnetism and electromagnetism, which studies the magnetosphere of planets and their possible satellites in order to map the planetary or interplanetary magnetic fields and to extract information on the structural composition of the planets (targeting mining mapping) and the complex interactions between the plasma and the solar wind. However, in order to achieve this kind of magnetic measurements based on highly sensitive magnetometers, magnetic cleanliness must be prevailed. This makes necessary the knowledge of the magnetic field generated by potential sites within the area of spacecraft.

Abstract:

Adaptive immunity in vertebrates is a complex self-organizing network of molecular interactions. While deep sequencing of the immune-receptor repertoire may reveal clonal relationships, functional interpretation of such data is hampered by the inherent limitations of converting sequence to structure to function. In this paper, a novel model of antibody interaction space and network, termed radial adjustment of system resolution, RAdial ADjustment of System Resolution (RADARS), is proposed. The model is based on the radial growth of interaction affinity of antibodies towards an infinity of directions in structure space, each direction corresponding to particular shapes of antigen epitopes. Levels of interaction affinity appear as free energy shells of the system, where hierarchical B-cell development and differentiation takes place. Equilibrium in this immunological thermodynamic system can be described by a power law distribution of antibody-free energies with an ideal network degree exponent of phi square, representing a scale-free fractal network of antibody interactions. Plasma cells are network hubs, memory B cells are nodes with intermediate degrees, and B1 cells function as nodes with minimal degree. Overall, the RADARS model implies that a finite number of antibody structures can interact with an infinite number of antigens by immunologically controlled adjustment of interaction energy distribution. Understanding quantitative network properties of the system should help the organization of sequence-derived predicted structural data.

Abstract:

Abstract The eukaryotic plasma membrane (PM) consists largely of phospholipids and proteins, and separates the intracellular compartments from the extracellular space. It also serves as a signaling platform for cell-to-cell communication and an interaction platform for the molecular crosstalk between pathogens and their target cells. Much research has been done to elucidate the interactions between pathogens and host membrane proteins. However, little is known about the interactions between pathogens and membrane phospholipids, although reports have described a contribution of phospholipids to cell recognition and/or invasion during early infection by diverse pathogens. Thus, during adhesion to the host cell, the obligate intracellular bacterial pathogens Chlamydia spp., the facultative intracellular pathogen Helicobacter pylori and the facultative aerobic pathogen Vibrio parahaemolyticus, interact with exofacial phospholipids. This review focuses on several prominent instances of pathogen interaction with host-cell phospholipids.

Abstract:

AbstractVarious repertoires of membrane protein interactions determine cellular responses to diverse environments around cells dynamically in space and time. Current assays, however, have limitations in unraveling these interactions in the physiological states in a living cell due to the lack of capability to probe the transient nature of these interactions on the crowded membrane. Here, we present a simple and robust assay that enables the investigation of transient protein interactions in living cells by using the single-molecule diffusional mobility shift assay (smDIMSA). Utilizing smDIMSA, we uncovered the interaction profile of EGFR with various membrane proteins and demonstrated the promiscuity of these interactions depending on the cancer cell line. The transient interaction profile obtained by smDIMSA will provide critical information to comprehend the crosstalk among various receptors on the plasma membrane.

Full text

Abstract:

Carbon plasmas generated by excimer laser ablation are often applied for deposition (in vacuum or under controlled atmosphere) of high-technological interest nanostructures and thin films. For specific excimer irradiation conditions, these transient plasmas can exhibit peculiar behaviors when probed by fast time- and space-resolved optical and electrical methods. We propose here a fractal approach to simulate this peculiar dynamics. In our model, the complexity of the interactions between the transient plasma particles (in the Euclidean space) is substituted by the nondifferentiability (fractality) of the motion curves of the same particles, but in a fractal space. For plane symmetry and particular boundary conditions, stationary geodesic equations at a fractal scale resolution give a fractal velocity field with components expressed by means of nonlinear solutions (soliton type, kink type, etc.). The theoretical model successfully reproduces the (surprising) formation of V-like radiating plasma structures (consisting of two lateral arms of high optical emissivity and a fast-expanding central part of low emissivity) experimentally observed.

Abstract:

The interaction of ultrashort laser pulses with a fully ionized plasma is investigated in the plane geometry by means of numerical simulation. The impact of the space oscillations in the amplitude of the laser electric field on the shape of the electron distribution function, on laser beam absorption, and on electron heat transport is demonstrated. Oscillations in the absorption rate of laser radiation with the minima coincident to the maxima of the laser electric field lead to a further decrease in the absorption of laser radiation. Heat flux in the direction of increasing temperature in the underdense region is caused by the modification of the electron distribution function and by the density gradient. A limitation of heat flux to the overdense plasma isobserved with the flux limiter in range 0.03–0.08, growing moderately with the intensity 1014–1016 W/cm2 of the incident 1.2-ps laser pulse.

Abstract:

When high-energy and high-power lasers interact with matter, a significant part of the incoming laser energy is transformed into transient electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) in the range of radiofrequencies and microwaves. These fields can reach high intensities and can potentially represent a significative danger for the electronic devices placed near the interaction point. Thus, the comprehension of the origin of these electromagnetic fields and of their distribution is of primary importance for the safe operation of high-power and high-energy laser facilities, but also for the possible use of these high fields in several promising applications. A recognized main source of EMPs is the target positive charging caused by the fast-electron emission due to laser–plasma interactions. The fast charging induces high neutralization currents from the conductive walls of the vacuum chamber through the target holder. However, other mechanisms related to the laser–target interaction are also capable of generating intense electromagnetic fields. Several possible sources of EMPs are discussed here and compared for high-energy and high-intensity laser–matter interactions, typical for inertial confinement fusion and laser–plasma acceleration. The possible effects on the electromagnetic field distribution within the experimental chamber, due to particle beams and plasma emitted from the target, are also described. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘Prospects for high gain inertial fusion energy (part 2)’.

Abstract:

Abstract. We present a statistical analysis of strong turbulence of Langmuir and ion-sound waves resulting from beam-plasma interaction. The analysis is carried out on data sets produced by a numerical simulation of one-dimensional Zakharov’s equations. The nonlinear wave interactions are studied using two different approaches: high-order spectra and Volterra models. These methods were applied to identify two and three wave processes in the data, and the Volterra model was furthermore employed to evaluate the direction and magnitude of energy transfer between the wave modes in the case of Langmuir wave decay. We demonstrate that these methods allow one to determine the relative importance of strongly and weakly turbulent processes. The statistical validity of the results was thoroughly tested using surrogated data set analysis.Key words.

Abstract:

The Boltzmann–Gibbs (BG) entropy has been used in a wide variety of problems for more than a century. It is well known that BG entropy is additive and extensive, but for certain systems such as those dictated by long-range interactions, it is speculated that the entropy must be non-additive and non-extensive. Tsallis entropy possesses these characteristics, and is parameterized by a variable q ( q = 1 being the classic BG limit), but unless q is determined from microscopic dynamics, the model remains a phenomenological tool. To this day, very few examples have emerged in which q can be computed from first principles. This paper shows that the space plasma environment, which is governed by long-range collective electromagnetic interaction, represents a perfect example for which the q parameter can be computed from microphysics. By taking the electron velocity distribution function measured in the heliospheric environment into account, and considering them to be in a quasi-equilibrium state with electrostatic turbulence known as quasi-thermal noise, it is shown that the value corresponding to q = 9 / 13 = 0 . 6923 , or alternatively q = 5 / 9 = 0 . 5556 , may be deduced. This prediction is verified against observations made by spacecraft, and it is shown to be in excellent agreement. This paper constitutes an overview of recent developments regarding the non-equilibrium statistical mechanical approach to understanding the non-extensive nature of space plasma, although some recent new developments are also discussed.

Abstract:

Abstract. Abundant evidence for the occurrence of modulated envelope plasma wave packets is provided by recent satellite missions. These excitations are characterized by a slowly varying localized envelope structure, embedding the fast carrier wave, which appears to be the result of strong modulation of the wave amplitude. This modulation may be due to parametric interactions between different modes or, simply, to the nonlinear (self-)interaction of the carrier wave. A generic exact theory is presented in this study, for the nonlinear self-modulation of known electrostatic plasma modes, by employing a collisionless fluid model. Both cold (zero-temperature) and warm fluid descriptions are discussed and the results are compared. The (moderately) nonlinear oscillation regime is investigated by applying a multiple scale technique. The calculation leads to a Nonlinear Schrödinger-type Equation (NLSE), which describes the evolution of the slowly varying wave amplitude in time and space. The NLSE admits localized envelope (solitary wave) solutions of bright-(pulses) or dark- (holes, voids) type, whose characteristics (maximum amplitude, width) depend on intrinsic plasma parameters. Effects like amplitude perturbation obliqueness (with respect to the propagation direction), finite temperature and defect (dust) concentration are explicitly considered. Relevance with similar highly localized modulated wave structures observed during recent satellite missions is discussed.

Abstract:

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the correct theory of strong interactions. The main direction of investigations in physics of elementary particles and nuclear physics is testing of QCD. QCD predicts that at high energy density there will be a transformation from ordinary nuclear matter to a plasma of free quarks and gluons, the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). In order to reach new knowledge of QCD from the interaction of relativistic heavy ions, one needs directly comparable data sets from systems of various sizes, different energies and different experimental probes. Lepton-nucleus scattering provides a nontrivial possibility to study space-time evolution of jets inside the nuclear matter. Using QCD-inspired time dependent cross sections for pre-hadrons we have introduced a space-time model for propagation and hadronization of quark and gluon jets in the nuclear matter in DIS. The aim of this work is to examine a multiproduction process of charged-current deep inelastic vμ-nucleus and nuclear emulsion scattering and estimate quantitatively the value of the formation time. These studies may help to explain the jet quenching in heavy ion collisions. In conclusion, the role of neutrino generators in modern neutrino experiments with nuclear targets will be discussed.

The influence of human fibrinogen, α-globulin, and albumin on the properties of monolayers of pulmonary surfactant under dynamic compression and expansion has been studied at 37 °C. Each of the proteins altered some of the properties of the normal compression and expansion isotherms of surfactant such that characteristics deemed desirable for proper lung function were impaired. The order of potency of these effects was fibrinogen>globulin>albumin. The proteins (a) decreased the maximum surface pressure (equivalent to the minimum surface tension) which the surfactant monolayers attained on compression, (b) decreased the areas occupied per mole of lipid phosphorus when the monolayers were at surface tensions of 20 and 12 mN∙m−1, (c) reduced the areas of the hysteresis between compression and expansion isotherms, and (d) decreased the rate of change of surface tension with area at the point of initial expansion of the monolayers. The proteins might compete with surfactant lipid for available space at the interface, especially at low film compression. They might also enhance the desorption of lipid from the monolayer. The findings are consistent with the loss of pulmonary function and presence of edema that occur in adult respiratory distress syndrome being contributed to by plasma proteins interfering with surfactant function.

Abstract:

The problem of modeling complex resource-intensive processes of plasma synthesis of carbon nanostructures (CNS) on the basis of mathematical and numerical methods of solution, focused on the use of parallel and distributed computing for processing large amounts of data, allowing to investigate the relationship and characteristics of processes to obtain an effective, cost-effective method of synthesis of CNS (fullerenes, nanotubes), is an actual theoretical and practical problem. This article deals with the problem of mathematical modeling of motion and interaction of charged particles in a multicomponent plasma based on the Boltzmann equation for the synthesis of ONS by thermal sublimation of graphite. The derivation of the collision integral is presented allowing to perform a numerical solution of the Boltzmann - Maxwell equations system with respect to the arc synthesis of CNS. The high order of particles and the number of their interactions involved simultaneously in the process of synthesis of CNS requires significant costs of machine resources and time to perform numerical calculations on the constructed model. Application of the large particle method makes it possible to reduce the amount of computing and hardware requirements without affecting the accuracy of numerical calculations. The use of parallel computing technology on the CPU and GPU with the use of Nvidia CUDA technology allows you to organize all the General-purpose calculations for the developed model based on the graphics processor of the personal computer graphics card, without the use of supercomputers or computing clusters. The results of experimental studies and numerical calculations confirming the adequacy of the developed model are presented. Obtained quantitative characteristics of the total pairwise interactions between the carbon particles and interactions with the formation of clusters of carbon with various types of ties in the plasma of the interelectrode space which are the basis of the synthesized nanostructures. The formation of carbon clusters occurs in the entire interelectrode space of the plasma with different intensity and depends on the process parameters.

Abstract:

Abstract. The interaction of the solar wind with the ionosphere of planet Mars is studied using a three-dimensional hybrid model. Mars has only a weak intrinsic magnetic field, and consequently its ionosphere is directly affected by the solar wind. The gyroradii of the solar wind protons are in the range of several hundred kilometers and therefore comparable with the characteristic scales of the interaction region. Different boundaries emerge from the interaction of the solar wind with the continuously produced ionospheric heavy-ion plasma, which could be identified as a bow shock (BS), ion composition boundary (ICB) and magnetic pile up boundary (MPB), where the latter both turn out to coincide. The simulation results regarding the shape and position of these boundaries are in good agreement with the measurements made by Phobos-2 and MGS spacecraft. It is shown that the positions of these boundaries depend essentially on the ionospheric production rate, the solar wind ram pressure, and the often unconsidered electron temperature of the ionospheric heavy ion plasma. Other consequences are rays of planetary plasma in the tail and heavy ion plasma clouds, which are stripped off from the dayside ICB region by some instability. Key words. Magnetospheric physics (solar wind interactions with unmagnetized bodies) – Space plasma physics (discontinuities; numerical simulation studies)

Abstract:

The concept of the screening of interparticle interactions has its origin in electrolyte and plasma theories. The most known example is the Debye-Hückel screening of the potential of the resting test charge provided with the availability of charges of the opposite sign and the total electroneutrality of the plasma. When this charge is moving, the static Debye screening decreases and an anisotropic dynamic screening develops due to excitation of waves of charge density. As a result, an effective potential of the positive moving ion becomes alternating with a characteristic length of space oscillations of order of the Debye length (Peter, 1990). Such dynamic screening is due to perturbations of charges of both signs by the varying field of moving test charge. This effect does not call for an electroneutrality of the system and is associated with the long-range character of the Coulomb interaction potential only.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The aim is to state the properties of ion acoustic solitary waves in course of collision and extract characteristics of the daughter wave in a magnetized electron–ion plasma. The magnetized plasma medium that is a constituent of white dwarfs and astrophysical plasmas that possesses relativistically degenerate electrons and thermal ions in the presence of a constant background magnetic field. The model is based on the extended Poincaré–Lighthill–Kuo (ePLK) method where a set of Korteweg–de Vries equations is obtained to show the phase shifts of colliding waves together with the amplitude and width of the born daughter solitary waves. The numerical results and presented figures regarding the amplitude and width of solitons provide a description of the influence of plasma parameters on soliton interactions, namely ion to electron temperature ratio (σi), ion cyclotron frequency (ωci), and angle between magnetic field and collision line (θ) together with their interplay in shaping the character of solitary waves. It is concluded that only rarefactive electrostatic non-linear waves are able to propagate in such plasma media. The daughter wave amplitude possesses a scaling behaviour regarding the impact angle. Interplay of the parameters on the phase shifts is presented. Ratio of amplitude and width of the daughter wave is directly proportional to the background field, the impact angle controls its maximum. It is observed that the magnetic field elevates ratio of the solitary wave amplitude to width leading it to a shorter life and hence interaction range with neighbouring sites.
