Focusing of laser-generated ion beams by a plasma cylinder: similarity theory and the thick lens formula
It is shown that plasma-based optics can be used to guide and focus highly
divergent laser-generated ion beams. A hollow cylinder is considered, which
initially contains a hot electron population. Plasma streaming toward the
cylinder axis maintains a focusing electrostatic field due to the positive
radial pressure gradient. The cylinder works as thick lens, whose parameters
are obtained from similarity theory for freely expanding plasma in cylindrical
geometry. Because the lens parameters are energy dependent, the lens focuses a
selected energy range of ions and works as a monochromator. Because the
focusing is due to the quasineutral part of the expanding plasma, the lens
parameters depend on the hot electron temperature only, and not their
density
Relativistic Doppler effect: universal spectra and zeptosecond pulses
We report on a numerical observation of the train of zeptosecond pulses
produced by reflection of a relativistically intense femtosecond laser pulse
from the oscillating boundary of an overdense plasma because of the Doppler
effect. These pulses promise to become a unique experimental and technological
tool since their length is of the order of the Bohr radius and the intensity is
extremely high W/cm. We present the physical mechanism,
analytical theory, and direct particle-in-cell simulations. We show that the
harmonic spectrum is universal: the intensity of th harmonic scales as
for , where is the largest --factor
of the electron fluid boundary, and for the broadband and
quasimonochromatic laser pulses respectively.Comment: 4 figure
Theory of high harmonic generation in relativistic laser interaction with overdense plasma
High harmonic generation due to the interaction of a short ultra relativistic
laser pulse with overdense plasma is studied analytically and numerically. On
the basis of the ultra relativistic similarity theory we show that the high
harmonic spectrum is universal, i.e. it does not depend on the interaction
details. The spectrum includes the power law part for
, followed by exponential decay. Here
is the largest relativistic -factor of the plasma
surface and is the second derivative of the surface velocity at this
moment. The high harmonic cutoff at is parametrically
larger than the predicted by the ``oscillating mirror''
model based on the Doppler effect. The cornerstone of our theory is the new
physical phenomenon: spikes in the relativistic -factor of the plasma
surface. These spikes define the high harmonic spectrum and lead to attosecond
pulses in the reflected radiation.Comment: 12 pages, 9 figure
Ground Beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) Assemblages Features Formation in Large and Medium Industrial Cities of Russia (The Case Study in Kazan, Kemerovo and Grozny)
The article presents the results of the analysis of the Carabid fauna of three cities: Grozny, Kemerovo, Kazan. It was established that communities of ground beetles clearly respond to varying degrees of recreation by changing the biotopic distribution and ecological structure: the emergence of super dominant species, a decrease in the abundance of zoophages, an increase in the share of stratobionts, and the presence of indicator species

The dynamics of the car rolling from a hump yard at a railway station is studied in its various aspects. The authors have also touched upon this topic repeatedly (see, in particular, World of Transport and Transportation, 2015, Iss. 6). However, earlier reports lacked estimates of time of movement and speed of a car on the intermediate section of the hump yard under the influence of tail wind of low speed. The published article fills this gap, introduces the results of calculations, mathematical and graphical dependencies enabling to make certain generalizations and conclusions.ΠΠΈΠ½Π°ΠΌΠΈΠΊΠ° ΡΠΊΠ°ΡΡΠ²Π°Π½ΠΈΡ Π²Π°Π³ΠΎΠ½Π° Ρ ΡΠΎΡΡΠΈΡΠΎΠ²ΠΎΡΠ½ΠΎΠΉ Π³ΠΎΡΠΊΠΈ Π½Π° ΠΆΠ΅Π»Π΅Π·Π½ΠΎΠ΄ΠΎΡΠΎΠΆΠ½ΠΎΠΉ ΡΡΠ°Π½ΡΠΈΠΈ ΠΈΠ·ΡΡΠ°Π΅ΡΡΡ Π² ΡΠ°Π·Π½ΡΡ

Mathematical modeling of the first intermediate section of a hump yard at the impact on the car of tail wind of small value is presented. The applied method is D'Alembert principle in coordinate form with non-ideal bond. Simple in appearance, analytical formulas were obtained for determining time of car movement at a hump yard, according to the value of which speed of its rolling into the end of the settlement area is determined. It was revealed that the time, during which the car rolling at this section of the hump yard depends on inclination angle, initial speed and acceleration of the car, as well as controlled length of movement.ΠΠ°ΡΠ΅ΠΌΠ°ΡΠΈΡΠ΅ΡΠΊΠΎΠ΅ ΠΌΠΎΠ΄Π΅Π»ΠΈΡΠΎΠ²Π°Π½ΠΈΠ΅Β ΠΏΠ΅ΡΠ²ΠΎΠ³ΠΎ ΠΏΡΠΎΠΌΠ΅ΠΆΡΡΠΎΡΠ½ΠΎΠ³ΠΎ ΡΡΠ°ΡΡΠΊΠ°Β ΡΠΎΡΡΠΈΡΠΎΠ²ΠΎΡΠ½ΠΎΠΉ Π³ΠΎΡΠΊΠΈ ΠΏΡΠΈ Π²ΠΎΠ·Π΄Π΅ΠΉΡΡΠ²ΠΈΠΈΒ Π½Π° Π²Π°Π³ΠΎΠ½ ΠΏΠΎΠΏΡΡΠ½ΠΎΠ³ΠΎ Π²Π΅ΡΡΠ° ΠΌΠ°Π»ΠΎΠΉΒ Π²Π΅Π»ΠΈΡΠΈΠ½Ρ.

Determination of the Carrier-Envelope Phase of Few-Cycle Laser Pulses with Terahertz-Emission Spectroscopy
The availability of few-cycle optical pulses opens a window to physical
phenomena occurring on the attosecond time scale. In order to take full
advantage of such pulses, it is crucial to measure and stabilise their
carrier-envelope (CE) phase, i.e., the phase difference between the carrier
wave and the envelope function. We introduce a novel approach to determine the
CE phase by down-conversion of the laser light to the terahertz (THz) frequency
range via plasma generation in ambient air, an isotropic medium where optical
rectification (down-conversion) in the forward direction is only possible if
the inversion symmetry is broken by electrical or optical means. We show that
few-cycle pulses directly produce a spatial charge asymmetry in the plasma. The
asymmetry, associated with THz emission, depends on the CE phase, which allows
for a determination of the phase by measurement of the amplitude and polarity
of the THz pulse
