Non-linear phenomena in microphysics of collisionless plasmas: space and laboratory applications

Objective



The objective of this project is to promote the understanding of non-linear physical processes that occur in plasmas. It aims to create continuity of effort on generic phenomena that arise in many subfields of plasma physics and for which the contribution of physicists from the NIS has been and remains of paramount importance.

Outstanding non-linear phenomena will have prominence in the course of the work: solitons and cavitons formation; self-organisation as displayed by turbulent energy cascades; wave-wave and wave-particles interactions; large amplitude wave effects in both relativistic and non-relativistic laser plasma systems; parametric wave instabilities such as stimulated Raman and Brillouin scattering; non-linear wave propagation effects such as self-focusing and self-modulation; and, finally, the particle beam interaction with plasmas.

The project will illuminate critical areas of non-linear physics through the study of these plasma phenomena. It seeks to exploit the intrinsic collective non-linear behaviour of the collisionless plasma state through the use of advanced computational, analytical and experimental facilities which exist in the NIS. This network will then help to prepare, conduct and interpret laboratory and satellite experiments on plasma physics in the NIS, providing in this way important techniques for science and advanced technology such as laser matter interaction, radiation generation, relativistic particle acceleration.

The network will rely on the existing structures or conferences in Russia: Fluctuation and scattering of waves by plasmas (Kiev, Sitenko); Non-linear plasma turbulence and self-organisation (Moscow, Tsytovitch); Strong microwave in plasma (Nizhnyi Novgorod, Litvak); and Tbilisi international school on plasma physics (Tbilisi, Tsintsadze).
