The study investigates the effect of ion motion on the spatiotemporal evolution of relativistically strong space charge waves using a 1D fluid simulation code. It is found that breaking of the excited wave occurs at amplitudes well below the theoretical breaking limit due to phase mixing. Furthermore, the phase mixing time (wave breaking time) inversely scales with the energy density of the wave.
The effect of ion motion on the spatiotemporal evolution of a relativistically strong space charge wave is studied using a 1D fluid simulation code. In our simulation, these waves are excited in the wake of a rigid electron beam propagating through a cold homogeneous plasma with a speed close to the speed of light. It is observed that the excited wave is a mode as described by Khachatryan [Phys. Rev. E 58, 7799-7804 (1998)] whose profile gradually sharpens and the wave eventually breaks after several plasma periods exhibiting explosive behavior. It is found that breaking occurs at amplitudes, which is far below the breaking limit analytically derived by Khachatryan [Phys. Rev. E 58, 7799-7804 (1998)]. This phenomenon of wave breaking, at amplitudes well below the breaking limit, is understood in terms of phase mixing of the excited wave. It is further found that the phase mixing time (wave breaking time) inversely scales with the energy density of the wave.& nbsp;Published under an exclusive license by AIP Publishing.
