Self-similar solutions of the G-equation - analytic description of the flame surface

The main feature of the flame kinematics can be desribed with the G-equation. We investigate the solutions of the G-equation with the well-known self-similar Ansatz. The results are discussed and the method how to get self-similar solutions is briefly mentioned.Comment: just a short paper 5 pages, 5 figure

Self-similar shock wave solutions of the non-linear Maxwell equations

In our study we consider nonlinear, power-law field-dependent electrical permitivity and magnetic permeability and investigate the time-dependent Maxwell equations with the self-similar Ansatz. This is a first-order hyperbolic PDE system which can conserve non-continuous initial conditions describing electromagnetic shock-waves. Besides shock-waves other interesting solutions (e.g. with localized compact support) can be found with delicate physical properties. Such phenomena may happen in complex materials induced by the planned powerful Extreme Light Infrastructure(ELI) laser pulses.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures published in Laser Phys. 24 (2014) 08600

Laser assisted proton collision on light nuclei at moderate energies

We present analytic angular differential cross section model for laser assisted proton nucleon scattering on a Woods-Saxon optical potential where the nth-order photon absorption is taken into account simultaneously. As a physical example we calculate cross sections for proton - $^{12}$C collision at 49 MeV in the laboratory frame where the laser intensity is in the range of $10^{7} - 10^{21}$ W/cm$^2$ at optical frequencies. The upper intensity limit is slightly below the relativistic regime.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, will be submitted to Phys. Rev.

Analytic self-similar solutions of the Oberbeck-Boussinesq equations

In this article we will present pure two-dimensional analytic solutions for the coupled non-compressible Newtoniain Navier-Stokes --- with Boussinesq approximation --- and the heat conduction equation. The system was investigated from E.N. Lorenz half a century ago with Fourier series and pioneered the way to the paradigm of chaos. We present a novel analysis of the same system where the key idea is the two-dimensional generalization of the well-known self-similar Ansatz of Barenblatt which will be interpreted in a geometrical way. The results, the pressure, temperature and velocity fields are all analytic and can be expressed with the help of the error functions. The temperature field has a strongly damped oscillating behavior which is an interesting feature.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure

Proton scattering on carbon nuclei in bichromatic laser field at moderate energies

We present the general theory for proton nuclei scattering in a bichromatic laser field. As a physical example we consider proton collision on carbon twelve at 49 MeV/amu moderate energies in the field of a titan sapphire laser with its second harmonic.Comment: 6 pages 5 figures, submitted to NIMB. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1406.631

Analytic solutions of a two-fluid hydrodynamic model

We investigate a one dimensional flow described with the non-compressible coupled Euler and non-compressible Navier-Stokes equations in Cartesian coordinate systems. We couple the two fluids through the continuity equation where different void fractions can be considered. The well-known self-similar Ansatz was applied and analytic solutions were derived for both velocity and pressure field as well. The solutions can be expressed with the error functions.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure

The influence of a strong infrared radiation field on the conductance properties of doped semiconductors

This work presents an analytic angular differential cross section formula for the electromagnetic radiation field assisted electron scattering by %% was on impurities in semiconductors. These impurities are approximated with various model potentials. The scattered electrons are described by the well-known Volkov wave function, which has been used describe strong laser field matter interaction for more than half a century, %% I would remove this time reference for clarity which exactly describes the interaction of the electron with the external oscillating field. These calculations show that the electron conductance in a semiconductor could be enhanced by an order of magnitude if an infrared electromagnetic field is present with $10^{11} < I < 10^{13}$ W/cm$^2$ intensity.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure

Homogeneous bubble nucleation limit of mercury under the normal working conditions of the planned European Spallation Source

In spallation neutron sources, liquid mercury is the subject of big thermal and pressure shocks, upon adsorbing the proton beam. These changes can cause unstable bubbles in the liquid, which can damage the structural material. While there are methods to deal with the pressure shock, the local temperature shock cannot be avoided. In our paper we calculated the work of the critical cluster formation (i.e. for mercury micro-bubbles) together with the rate of their formation (nucleation rate). It is shown that the homogeneous nucleation rates are very low even after adsorbing several proton pulses, therefore the probability of temperature induced homogeneous bubble nucleation is negligible.Comment: 22 Pages, 11 figures, one of them is colour, we plan to publish it in Eur.

Pre-Excitation Studies for Rubidium-Plasma Generation

The key element in the Proton-Driven-Plasma-Wake-Field-Accelerator (AWAKE) project is the generation of highly uniform plasma from Rubidium vapor. The standard way to achieve full ionization is to use high power laser which can assure the over-barrier-ionization (OBI) along the 10 meters long active region. The Wigner-team in Budapest is investigating an alternative way of uniform plasma generation. The proposed Resonance Enhanced Multi Photon Ionization (REMPI) scheme probably can be realized by much less laser power. In the following the resonant pre-excitations of the Rb atoms are investigated, theoretically and the status report about the preparatory work on the experiment are presented.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, submitted to Nucl. Inst. and Meth. in Phys. Res.
