The F1 ledge: density, height and slope
Diurnal variations of the F1 region ionization at 170 km altitude and the slope ?170 = dN/dh at this height are analyzed for mid-latitude and equatorial stations: Millstone Hill, Ramey, Puerto Madryn and Jicamarca. Both the density N(t) and the slope ?(t)

A Density Functional Theory for the Average Electron Energy [PDF]
A formally exact density functional theory (DFT) determination of the average electron energy is presented. Our theory, which is based on a different accounting of energy functional terms, partially solves one well known downside of conventional Kohn ...

Underdense plasma lens with a transverse density gradient
We explore the implications of a transverse density gradient on the performance of an underdense plasma lens and nonlinear plasma-based accelerator. Transverse density gradients are unavoidable in plasma sources formed in the outflow of standard gas jets,

Characteristics of electron temperature profile stiffness in electron-heated plasmas on EAST
A very high core electron temperature ( T _e0 ∼ 10 keV) plasma has been established and stably sustained by applying both lower hybrid wave (LHW) and on-axis electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak

The estimation of D-region electron densities from riometer data [PDF]
International audienceAt high latitude the hard electron precipitation associated with auroral activity is a major source of ionization for the D-region, one consequence being the absorption of radio waves.

In situ and ground-based intercalibration measurements of plasma density at l = 2.5 [PDF]
[1] Two independent ground-based experiments and two satellite-borne experiments are used to interpret the changes in plasmaspheric composition at the same point in space during moderate geomagnetic activity on 22 January and 14 February 2001.

Optimization of laser-plasma injector via beam loading effects using ionization-induced injection
Simulations of ionization-induced injection in a laser driven plasma wakefield show that high-quality electron injectors in the 50–200 MeV range can be achieved in a gas cell with a tailored density profile.

Comparison of COSMIC measurements with the IRI-2007 model over the eastern Mediterranean region
This paper presents a comparison of the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI-2007) model over the eastern Mediterranean region with peak ionospheric characteristics (foF2–hmF2) and electron density profiles measured by FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC satellites in ...
