Interaction between energetic electrons and a circularly polarized laser pulse in a relativistic plasma channel is studied. Laser radiation can be resonantly absorbed by electrons executing betatron oscillations in the channel and absorbing angular momentum from the laser. The absorbed angular momentum manifests itself as a strong axial magnetic field (inverse Faraday effect). The magnitude of this magnetic field is calculated and related to the amount of the absorbed energy.

In this paper, we study the electron acceleration by a circularly polarized electromagnetic wave propagating through plasma in the presence of a periodic and an axial guide magnetic field. A numerical calculation in MATLAB software was developed by employing the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method for studying the electron energy and electron trajectory in plasma medium. The equations governing the electron momentum and energy which describe electron acceleration by a circularly polarized laser pulse have been obtained. It is shown that by choosing an appropriate wiggler field frequency at short distances, the electron retains an adequate amount of energy. In addition, it is found that due to the simultaneous existence of the wiggler field and field of laser pulse and their combined effects, the electron in the direction of the laser pulse propagating, turns around and subsequently, the electron transverse momentum increases and as a result the electron escapes from the laser pulse near the laser pulse peak. Furthermore, it is seen that by increasing the laser intensity, the electron energy decreases and by decreasing to an appropriate value while employing a wiggler magnetic field, a higher peak of energy is gained.

AbstractThe modulation instability of a circularly polarized laser pulse in a magnetized non-Maxwellian plasma is investigated. Based on a relativistic fluid model, the nonlinear interaction of an intense circularly polarized laser beam with a non-Maxwellian magnetized plasma is described. Nonlinear dispersion relation and growth rate of the instability for left- and right-hand polarizations are derived. The effect of temperature, external magnetic field, value of Kappa and state of polarization on the growth rate are analyzed. It is shown that the growth rate increases with increase in the magnetic field for the right-hand polarization and inversely it decreases for the left-hand one. Also it is observed that existence of super-thermal particles causes the decrease in the growth.
