    Notes: Study of Langmuir collapse thresholds shows that they have little polarization dependence and that moving packets have the lowest thresholds in the undamped case. However, incorporation of damping into the density response inhibits collapse of packets moving at more than a small fraction of the sound speed. Investigation of energy transfer to packets localized in density wells—the nucleation process—shows that at most a few trapped states can exist and that energy transfer is most effective when there is a single barely-trapped state. Coupled with an argument that closely packed wave packets have lower collapse thresholds, this argument yields an estimate of the number density of localized nucleating states in a turbulent plasma. It also leads to a simple and direct semiquantitative estimate of the collapse threshold. All these results are in accord with previous numerical simulations incorporating ion-sound damping, which show a preponderance of slow-moving or stationary packets with little or no intrinsic polarization dependence of thresholds. Likewise, the number densities obtained are in good agreement with simulation values, and the simple estimate of the threshold is semiquantitatively correct. The extent of the agreement supports the nucleation scenario with close-packed nucleation sites in the turbulent state. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The coalescence of Langmuir waves to produce electromagnetic waves at twice the plasma frequency is considered. A simplified expression for the rate of production of second harmonic electromagnetic waves is obtained for a broad class of Langmuir spectra. In addition, two different analytic approximations are considered. The validity of the commonly used head-on approximation is explored, in which the two coalescing Langmuir waves are assumed to approach from opposite directions. This approximation breaks down at low Langmuir wavenumbers, and for narrow Langmuir wave spectra. A second, more general, approximation is introduced, called the narrow-spectrum approximation, which requires narrow spectral widths of the Langmuir spectra. The advantages of this approximation are that it does not break down at low Langmuir wavenumbers, and that it remains valid for relatively broad Langmuir wave spectra. Finally, the applicability of these approximations in treating harmonic radiation in type III solar radio bursts is discussed. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A Fokker–Planck theory is developed to describe the diffusion in momentum space of a beam of relativistic electrons due to multiple transit-time interactions with an ensemble of coherent Langmuir wave packets. The theory incorporates two ingredients: a perturbed-orbit calculation of the momentum change of a test particle during a single transit-time interaction, and an ensemble average of the resulting Fokker–Planck coefficients based on the statistical properties of strong Langmuir turbulence. An approximate analytic solution of the Fokker–Planck equation is obtained for the case of a strongly collimated beam, and is used to interpret measurements of energy and pitch-angle scattering in relativistic-electron-beam (REB) experiments. Fokker–Planck coefficients are also calculated for a weakly collimated beam. It is shown that the theory correctly predicts the amount of energy scattering in REB experiments, but underestimates the pitch-angle scattering regardless of the distribution of wave packet orientations and the degree of collimation of the beam. This discrepancy may be a product of the approximate wave-packet structure assumed in the analysis, or of systematic errors in the experimental data; alternatively, it may imply that a non-transit-time process is responsible for part of the pitch-angle scattering observed. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The formation, collapse and arrest of lower-hybrid wave packets are investigated analytically. The three-dimensional structure of the wave packet is incorporated in the analysis and its polarization is studied for the first time. Nonlinear collapse thresholds are obtained via a Hamiltonian formulation and are used in calculating the probability distribution of collapsing wave packet structures as a function of their polarization. Transit-time interaction theory is then used to calculate the arrest scale at which collapse is halted as the waves are damped. It is found that collapse thresholds are lowest for circularly polarized packets, but that nearly linearly polarized ones predominate in collapse because of their greater numbers in the linear phase of the evolution. It is argued that subsonic collapse persists until very near arrest, in accord with recent numerical simulations. Time scale analysis shows that the parallel field structure has difficulty in attaining its self-similar form in the available collapse time, also in accord with simulations. Transit-time theory implies that electrons travelling roughly parallel to the ambient magnetic field can arrest collapse at a scale comparable to that previously estimated for ions; which process dominates depends on the electron and ion temperatures and packet geometry. The resulting arrest scales are found to be in accord with the simulations. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The transit-time power dissipated locally within a coherent wave packet in the presence of ambient and induced magnetic fields is calculated analytically as a function of position via a perturbed-orbit approach, generalizing earlier results for unmagnetized interactions. The theory is used to investigate local damping in a nonlinearly-collapsing lower-hybrid (LH) wave packet, and hence to estimate the arrest scale of LH wave collapse in a thermal electron-ion plasma. It is shown that either electrons or ions can dominate damping, depending on the strength of the magnetic field and the electron and ion temperatures. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A two-component model of strongly nonlinear wave turbulence is developed for a broad class of systems in which high-frequency electrostatic waves interact with low-frequency sound-like waves. In this model coherent nonlinear wave packets form and collapse amid a sea of incoherent background waves. It is shown that three classes of turbulence exist, typified by Langmuir, lower-hybrid, and upper-hybrid turbulence. Balance between power input to incoherent waves, and dissipation at the end of collapse determines power-law scalings of turbulent electrostatic energy density, density fluctuations, length and time scales. Knowledge of the evolution of collapsing packets enables probability distributions of the magnitudes of electric fields and density fluctuations to be calculated, yielding power-law dependences. Wavenumber spectra of collapsing waves and associated density fluctuations are also calculated and shown to have power-law forms. Applications to Langmuir, lower-hybrid, and upper-hybrid waves are discussed. In the Langmuir case the results agree with earlier theory and simulations, with one exception, which is consistent only with earlier simulations. In the lower-hybrid and upper-hybrid cases, the results are consistent with the few simulations to date. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Undulator and wigglers are an essential basis for synchrotron radiation and free-electron laser systems. Wiggler and undulator design concepts for producing higher magnetic field strength with improved field quality are reviewed. Shim tuning methods have permitted magnetic field tolerances, including pole-to-pole field uniformity, trajectory straightness, and higher order moments, to be controlled to low levels as needed for various applications. A key figure of merit is the optical phase error, which determines the coherence of the light generated in the device. Coherence is a strict requirement for maintaining spectral intensity in synchrotron radiation sources with low emittance and maximizing gain in free-electron lasers. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Multipole and phase tuning of insertion devices is important for maintaining beam dynamics and reaching the high brightness goals of the Advanced Photon Source. Several general approaches are described: mechanical adjustments, end-pole shaping, and magnetic shimming. Off-axis Hall probe measurements after assembly guide magnet exchanges and local mechanical adjustments. A recent development has been the use of potential theory applied to end-pole shaping. The wide gap tuning range of the APS devices requires careful matching of device errors and correct gap dependencies in the gap/period range of 0.18 to 0.6. Shims are especially sensitive at small gaps. We describe signatures, gap dependencies, algorithms, modeling, and experimental results for these techniques. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The design of the insertion devices built and tested by STI Optronics for the Advanced Photon Source (APS) have used initial Halbach scoping followed by 2D and 3D finite element analysis (FEA). We review our design methods, which ensure the fabricated devices achieve the requested on-axis field strength, minimize pole saturation and demagnetizing fields, and reduce harmonic content, transverse roll-off, and flux leakages to desired levels. Recent enhancements include additional assessment of the effects of excessively strong magnets, magnet inhomogeneity, transverse pole saturations, part placement sensitivity, and refinements in the material databases used by the FEA. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
