Book Description
Models for propagation physics and associated ionospheric/atmospheric modification have been developed for the space-based injection of relativistic (E( - ) 1-100 MeV) electron beams. Initial evaluations of beam propagation effects in the ionosphere, magnetosphere, and atmosphere have been conducted. The overall goal of this work was to develop computational tools and use them to better assess relavistic beam launch, propagation, and interaction with the space environment and atmosphere. Computational tools developed and then applied to this problem. include models addressing: beam propagation using an envelope equation; integrated beam-atmosphere interactions (This model contains time-dependent chemistry effects necessary to compute optical emissions as a function of altitude); beam launch and propagation using particle-in-cell (PIC) techniques; and magnetospheric propagation and plasma transport (Khazanov models). It is concluded that for practical beam energies and current the beam propagation is stable This is done theoretically and using the PIC modeling. Over long distance propagation the Khazanov models were able to show that the beam particles will scatter in pitch-angle and relative location, but lifetimes are expected to be similar to those found for the radiation belts for nearly equatorial mirroring injection.

Book Description
The understanding of MeV electron beam propagation in the Earth's atmosphere and ionosphere has progressed substantially due to the completion of the author's doctoral research under the AASERT program, and a summary of results is presented in this report. A model based on several established analytical computational techniques has been developed to study the interactions of relativistic electron beams with the Earth's upper atmosphere and ionosphere. The emphasis is on the analysis of active experiments involving beams launched from a satellite in Low Earth Orbit or from a suborbital sounding rockets. The Beam-Atmosphere Interaction forms a subset of physical phenomena associated with the injection of charged particle beams from a spacecraft. The present study extends the analysis of the BAI from the keV range of past experiments, and it is motivated in part by the recent advances in technology which allow MeV electron beams to be launched from spacecraft. The model is designed to accept beam and environmental parameters as input, such as beam current, energy, and mean divergence, and to compute quantities of interest resulting from the relativistic BAI as output, such as ionization and bremsstrahlung emissions.

Frontiers in High Energy Density Physics
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 030908637X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Recent scientific and technical advances have made it possible to create matter in the laboratory under conditions relevant to astrophysical systems such as supernovae and black holes. These advances will also benefit inertial confinement fusion research and the nation's nuclear weapon's program. The report describes the major research facilities on which such high energy density conditions can be achieved and lists a number of key scientific questions about high energy density physics that can be addressed by this research. Several recommendations are presented that would facilitate the development of a comprehensive strategy for realizing these research opportunities.
