Research Abstract

In order to clarify the electro magnetic phenomena of high density relativistic electron which is produced by ultra intense laser plasma interactions, a particle simulation code and a fluid - particle by brid simulation code have been developed. The developed simulation codes were tested by comparing simulation results with corresponding experimental date. Actually, it was found that a high density relativistic electron could induces Weibel instability and generates strong magnetic fields to break up the electron flow into many filaments. It was also found that the well developed filaments interact strongly with each others and they are merged into longer scale filaments.
In this research, we also studied the relativistic laser plasma interaction by a large scale three dimensional particle in cell simulation. By the relativistic nonlinear interactions, the laser pulse induces modulation and simulated Raman coupled instability and break up into filaments or solitary pulses. As the results of strong laser pulse modulation, electrons are accelerated to high to higher than 10 MeV. When those relativistic electrons penetrate into over dense plasmas, the strong magnetic field fluctuation are induced.
In this E-MHD turbulence, the inverse cascade of the fluctuation spectrum occurs and electron flow structures appear. Those self-organized behavior of the electron flow will have crucial efforts on the heating of fast ignition core plasma. The dense relativistic electron dynamics is also found to be important in X-ray generation, high energy ion generation, and so on in ultra - intense laser plasmas.
