STATIONARY CURRENT SHEET MODEL FOR PLASMA ACCELERATION.
Abstract
Difficulties with the usual circuit-current sheet model of the coaxial plasma accelerator are shown to arise in the case of a stationary current sheet. A suggestion for resolving these difficulties is made based on considering energy and momentum changes of the plasma moving through the current sheet. The resulting equations are confirmed by a detailed analysis of the circuit elements made up of the moving plasma within the current sheet. (Author)
