Charged particle acceleration in dense plasma channels

  • 1. Department of Astrophysical Sciences, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544 (United States)

Description

Reduced nonlinear equations are derived from the oscillation amplitude and the energy of a charged particle accelerated in a plasma channel. The maximum energy gain, as limited by dissipation, is described by three different scalings depending on the channel parameters.
