We consider the radiative acceleration to relativistic bulk velocities of a cold, optically thin plasma which is exposed to an external source of gamma-rays. The flow is driven by radiative momentum input to the gas, the accelerating force…
A modulation of refractive index can move at the speed of light. How it interacts with an electromagnetic wave? Does it reflect? We show that an incident electromagnetic wave, depending on its frequency either is totally transmitted with a…
Radiation by the atoms of a resonant medium is a cooperative process in which the medium participates as a whole. In two previous papers \cite{PG00,GP00}, we treated this problem for the case of a medium having slab geometry, which, under…
Of particular interest for radio and hard X-ray diagnostics of accelerated electrons during solar flares is the understanding of the basic non-linear mechanisms regulating the relaxation of electron beams propagating in turbulent plasmas.…
As one step towards a systematic modeling of the electromagnetic (EM) emission from an inspiralling black hole binary we consider a simple scenario in which the binary moves in a uniform magnetic field anchored to a distant circumbinary…
We theoretically show that a single free electron in circular/spiral motion radiates an electromagnetic wave possessing helical phase structure and carrying orbital angular momentum. We experimentally demonstrate it by double-slit…
