Laser Radiation Forces in Magnetized Plasmas.
Abstract
A linearly polarized laser beam produces a time-averaged radiative force along its electric vector when interacting with a magnetized plasma. This magnetic force, for a field of 5 MG, is as large as the ponderomotive force with a gradient scale of 3 micrometers. (Author)
