Abstract :
Resonance excitation of longitudinal plasma electrostatic wave by double-frequency laser radiation is investigated numerically to study in detail conditions of particle beat wave acceleration. The computer simulation is based on the highly specialized code SUR, using splitting technique. Both the space uniform and slightly non-uniform cases are investigated. Maintaining of phase synchronism between accelerated particles and excited longitudinal wave is provided by a choice of density plasma profile
