Relativistic self-focusing of intense laser beam in thermal collisionless quantum plasma with ramped density profile
Propagation of a Gaussian x-ray laser beam has been analyzed in collisionless thermal quantum plasma with considering a ramped density profile. In this density profile due to the increase in the plasma density, an earlier and stronger self-focusing effect is noticed where the beam width oscillates w...
