Study of the Influence of Time-Varying Plasma Sheath on Radar Echo Signal by Xu-Yang Chen, Ke-Xin Li, Yan-Yan Liu, Ya-Gang Zhou, Xiao-Ping Li, and Yan-Ming Liu The time-varying plasma sheath surrounding a reentry spacecraft (or object) can influence the radar detection of the spacecraft seriously, causing detection error or even track loss. To study the influence of plasma sheath on radar detection, a time-varying plasma sheath model based on scattering matrix method is constructed. In the model, the surface media of reentry object is considered, together with some algorithm adjustments to avoid computational singularity, and the time-varying characteristics of plasma sheath are taken into account based on available measured data. By the model, the reflection coefficient of plasma sheath and the radar echo reflected by plasma-covered object are both calculated. And then a processing method of time-varying echo signal based on ambiguity function are put forward, by which the time delay and Doppler frequency of echo signal are analyzed. In the simulation, the rules of a series of time-varying parameters of plasma affecting the reflection coefficient are analyzed. Then, by ambiguity function analysis, the influence rules of plasma sheath on radar echo are revealed, accompanied by some qualitative and quantitative results. The proposed model, method, and simulation results are thought to be helpful for the radar detection of plasma-covered reentry objects. more...

Laser-Driven Plasma Accelerators Operating in the Self-Guided, Blowout Regime by Chan Joshi In this paper, some recent developments in the area of laser-driven plasma wakefield accelerators are reviewed. In particular, we discuss the acceleration of electrons by laser-induced plasma wakes in the so-called blowout regime. In this regime, the laser pulse is sufficiently intense to completely blowout all the plasma electrons and create a cavity or a bubble comprising plasma ions. The plasma electrons are attracted back toward the axis of propagation and form a thin sheath around the ions. The transverse and longitudinal electric fields of this cavity have desirable characteristics for accelerating a high-quality electron beam. In this blowout regime, the laser pulse can be self-guided by the wake it creates over tens of Rayleigh lengths until it is fully pump depleted. The mechanisms for producing such nonlinear wakes in plasmas, injecting electrons into the wakes so that they can be accelerated, competing instabilities that can adversely affect the beam quality, and recent experimental progress are discussed. more...
