Funding: CNPq, Brasil, AFOSR Grant FA9550-12-1-0438, USA. In the present analysis we study the weakly nonlinear interaction between trains of electromagnetic pulses and space-charge fields in laser-plasma systems. We direct the analysis to regimes evolving with the co-moving coordinate of the beam frame, but do not make any assumptions on paraxial or underdense approximate conditions. The model thus constructed allows us to investigate regimes where transverse and longitudinal length scales of the pulses are comparable. Resonant and nonresonant regimes of space-charge wave excitation are analyzed. In both cases, with aid of analytical estimates and numerical simulations, we examine how far trains of electromagnetic pulses can travel before being affected by the destructive transverse effects. |

The proceeding proposes a derivation of the Vlasov-Poisson equation where the distribution function is splitted in a main part standing for the core and a fluctuating part standing for the halo, with which core-halo dynamics is analysed. | ||
