Outline
Plasma universe Plasma wave excitation Laser driven acceleration and production of the monoenergetic electrons beam Ion acceleration Concluding remark
Plasma universe
Three minutes after Big Bang ----- Plasma dominated universe Radio jets, X-ray sources, -ray bursts, pulsar, accretion disk etc. We observed this universe mostly by EM waves, its dispersion, e.g. distance of pulsars by dispersion relation, 2 = 2 + k 2c 2 p
Why plasma is such a capitalistic society in which so much energy is given to so few electrons ??

2) Ponderomotive pressure:
In linear theory, no acceleration is possible by direct light wave but by plasma wave and ion wave: Cherenkov resonance, v = k
nm 2 eE os = n a 2 = mc 2 , a = 2 m0 c
Electron can be accelerated by plasma wave: v = p k Acceleration gradient of plasma wave can be large
Maximum acceleration gradient limited by the wave breaking
