Dissipation effects in the ratchetlike Fermi acceleration

Chaotic Dynamics 2009-10-20 v1

Abstract

Ac driven asymmetric pulses can be used to control the Fermi acceleration between three different motions, A:{\bf A:} the {\it accelerated} mode; D:{\bf D:} the {\it decelerated} mode and H:{\bf H:} the {\it hyperaccelerated} mode. In this work we show that dissipation strongly affects the particles velocity, reducing the possibility for an accurate control of the dynamics. The saturation time, where the mean velocity starts to be constant due to dissipation, decays with a power law γβ\sim\gamma^{-\beta}, where γ\gamma is the dissipation parameter and β\beta is close to 1. The value of the saturated mean velocity also decays with a power law with exponent β0.6\beta\sim0.6 for the case H{\bf H}, and β0.3\beta\sim0.3 for the case A{\bf A}. In the case D{\bf D} this velocity is almost constant for small dissipations.
