Acceleration of Material Waves in Fermi Accelerator
Figure 2
We plot the trajectories of a bouncing particle in time domain for three different phase points (), which represent stochastic near acceleration and acceleration regions. For these three phase points we take and . (a) Our particle is in a chaotic region with phase point (23.239, 0), so there is no consistent acceleration of the particle. (b) Particle originates from the phase point (21.898, 0) is on the boundary of the accelerated region of phase space. Initially the position of the particle increase gradually but after some time it decreases as we move in time domain. (c) Classical particle is in accelerated region of phase space with phase point (19.739, 0). The position of the particle increases consistently as we move in time domain.
