B Plasma recovery at wakefield accelerators

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the feasibility of maintaining plasma ionization indefinitely in plasma wakefield accelerators without additional heating. Key concerns include methods to prevent plasma escape, with magnetic confinement being a potential solution, although questions arise about the behavior of non-ionized gas. The impact of solid windows on beam integrity and secondary radiation is also debated, highlighting potential damage risks. Additionally, strategies for quickly recovering and refilling ionized gas are explored. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the technical challenges and considerations in optimizing plasma confinement and stability in accelerator environments.

Is it possible to keep the plasma ionized almost indefinitely. No additional heating is required.

How to prevent the plasma in the plasma wakefield accelerator from escaping? If it is magnetic confinement, it is not always necessary to supply the gas to keep it ionized, and will the gas that is not ionized still escape. If it is a solid window, won't the beam passing through the window cause damage and secondary radiation? Or is there any way to quickly recover and fill the ionized gas.
 

Thread 'Gravitational effects of a small black hole passing your body'

Abstract The gravitational effects of a Primordial Black Hole (PBH) passing through the human body are examined, with the goal of determining the minimum mass necessary to produce significant injury or death. Two effects are examined: The damage caused by a shock wave propagating outward from the black hole trajectory, and the dissociation of brain cells from tidal forces produced by the black hole on its passage through the human body. It is found that the former is the dominant effect...
