Modulation instability of an intense laser beam in the hot magnetized electron-positron plasma in the quasi-neutral limit

摘要

The aim of the present study is to investigate the problem of modulation instability of an intense laser beam in the hot magnetized electron-positron plasma. Propagation of the intense circularly polarized laser beam along the external magnetic field is studied using a relativistic fluid model. A nonlinear equation describing the interaction of the laser pulse with the magnetized hot pair plasma is derived based on the quasi-neutral approximation, which is valid for the hot plasma. Also, the nonlinear dispersion equation for the hot plasma is obtained. The growth rate of the instability is calculated and its dependence on temperature and external magnetic field are considered
