    Notes: After grass carps Ctenopharyngodon idellus were injected with cortisol, with (CBC) and without (C) a cocoa butter carrier, the effects of both slowly and rapidly acting exogenous cortisol on their non-specific immune functions were investigated. On the one hand, after injection with CBC, the cortisol concentration and lysozyme activity in fish serum were enhanced and were sustained at high levels for a long period (30 days). The killing activity in the serum declined with time, and phagocytosis of head kidney macrophages diminished significantly (P 〈 0·05 or P 〈 0·01). The leukocrit values in the high dose group (31·8 mg cortisol fish−1) increased over time, however, with the maximum average being 5·6% at day 30. The spleen mass index in the high dose group was 0·93 × 10−3 after 30 days, notably lower (P 〈 0·05) than that in the control group. In addition, a decrease in resistance to Aeromonas hydrophila infection in cortisol-treated fish was shown, with the final cumulative mortalities being 54·5 and 66·7% in the low and high dose groups, respectively. On the other hand, there was a decrease in both serum cortisol concentration and lysozyme activity of the experimental fish within 2 weeks after injection with C, where plasma bactericidal activities in the high dose group (31·8 mg cortisol fish−1) were remarkably lower (P 〈 0·01) than those in the control group at each sampling, but were increased slightly over time. The results of which were different from those in the CBC trial. Phagocytic activity of head kidney macrophages and spleen mass index decreased significantly (P 〈 0·05), while there were increases in leukocrit value and cumulative mortality due to A. hydrophila. The results of which were similar to those in the CBC trial. This study indicated that the injection of cortisol depressed the non-specific immune functions of the grass carp and increased its susceptibility to disease.

    Notes: The predictions of the smooth-approximation theory for the effective radius of a space-charge dominated beam in a periodic solenoid focusing channel were checked experimentally over a wide range of focusing conditions. Electron beams with an energy of 5 keV and currents of 50 to 70 mA were transported through a 5-m-long periodic channel and beam radii were measured by an axially moveable phosphor screen and a charge-coupled device camera. The phase advance of betatron oscillation per period without space-charge, σ0, was varied from σ0=45° to σ0=90°. The tune depression due to space-charge, σ/σ0, was in the range of 0.2–0.3. The theoretical results for average beam radius R¯ over one period and the ratio R¯/Rmax were found to agree with the experimental data to better than 5% when a correction due to spherical aberration was taken into account.

    Notes: Space-charge effects and collective behavior play an important role in the dynamics of intense beams for accelerator applications. One of the research issues is the longitudinal space-charge waves and instabilities in high current accelerators. At the University of Maryland, an experimental program has been conducted to systematically study space-charge waves and longitudinal instabilities in space-charge dominated electron beams. This includes the generation of localized space-charge waves in an active device; the propagation and end reflection of space-charge waves in a conducting transport channel; and the longitudinal instabilities in a resistive-wall channel. This paper reports and discuss our experimental results. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Vlasov simulations are developed to study the one-dimensional modulational instability and Langmuir collapse in a plasma driven by an external field. Both electrons and ions in the plasma are described by the Vlasov equations. The external driving field energy density is ∼10−3 times the initial electron thermal energy density. The plasma has a mass ratio of mi/me=1836, and a temperature ratio of Ti/Te=0.1 or 1.0, where mi, me, Ti, and Te are the ion mass, electron mass, ion temperature, and electron temperature. The modulational instability is saturated by the formation of Langmuir cavitons which later collapse and burn out due to the strong wave–particle interactions. The particle heating during a single Langmuir collapse is small under this weak driving field. The accelerated electron and ion jet-like streams in phase space as well as the nucleation of cavitons are observed during the evolution. Zakharov equations with the same parameters and similar initial conditions are also simulated, and the results are compared with those of the Vlasov simulations. The two models agree with each other quantitatively up to the first collapse following the saturation of exponential growth; dynamic differences appear after the first collapse. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Langmuir collapse in a radiation-driven plasma is simulated in one dimension using both the hybrid Vlasov model and the modified Zakharov model. In the hybrid model, the electrons are described by the Vlasov equation and the ions are described by the fluid equations. Two numerical runs with different parameters are performed: (a) a weakly driven case, and (b) a strongly driven case. The comparisons of the results between the two models for each case are carried out in detail. It is found that the dynamic behavior of the plasma can be changed dramatically by varying the external driving field. The electron temperature increases only ∼10% in the weakly driven case, while it increases ∼200% in the strongly driven case during a single Langmuir collapse. The two models agree with each other during the first collapse after the saturation of modulational instability. Dynamic differences appear after the first collapse, caused by the electron heating in the hybrid model, which is not accounted for in the standard isothermal Zakharov model.

    Notes: The properties of solitary waves in space-charge dominated charged particle beams are investigated theoretically. Similarly to linear space-charge waves, both slow and fast solitary waves can exist. In a dissipative environment, e.g. a resistive-wall channel, it is shown that the slow space-charge solitary waves grow in amplitude, while the fast space-charge solitary waves decay. However, the growth and decay rates differ from those of the linear waves. A possible experiment with an electron beam is proposed to demonstrate these phenomena. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Both Zakharov equations and Vlasov equations are solved numerically to study the strong Langmuir turbulence developed in a plasma driven by an external pump field oscillating at the plasma frequency. A steady state turbulence in Vlasov simulations is reached by using open boundary conditions under which hot particles generated by strong caviton fields are replaced by initial cold Maxwellian particles when they cross the boundaries of simulation domain. A similar steady turbulent state in Zakharov simulations is easily achieved by implementing a phenomenological damping model and using periodic boundary conditions. Simulation results of these two different models are compared and investigated. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The longitudinal instability of space-charge dominated beams in transport channels with complex wall impedances is studied. The dispersion equation, derived from the one-dimensional Vlasov equation, characterizes the instability with all the relevant parameters including the space charge, the beam energy spread, the real and imaginary parts of the complex wall impedances. For a beam without energy spread, the growth rates of the instability in the different parameter ranges are discussed. The application of the theory to a resistive-wall channel and to a channel with induction gaps is presented. For a beam with energy spread, Lorentzian and Gaussian distributions are treated and the results presented illustrate the dependence of the stable regions on the beam perveance, the energy spread and the wall properties.
