Both the magnetic and the electric field are localized in a narrow domain elongated in thetransversedirection.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Because the space-charge force increases as the beam is compressed, a larger focusing force is needed to confine the beam in thetransversedirection.
From theCambridge English Corpus
A relativistic electron beam can be effectively confined in thetransversedirectionby using an ion-channel.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Because the strong laser electric field component is in thetransversedirection, it may drive electrons from the laser center.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The transverse intensity gradient generates a ponderomotive force, which modifies the plasma density profile in thetransversedirection.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Here, we consider the effect of an imposed flow on the stability of a growing tissue to disturbances in thetransversedirection.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus
Thus, it has been shown that there exists a conceptual possibility to create a quasi-uniform plasma column by injecting plasma in thetransversedirection.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Consequently, the proton divergence in thetransversedirectionis suppressed and protons are focused on the center.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, the electrons are scattered by the transverse ponderomotive force in thetransversedirection.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus
This correspondence requires that radiative transfer in thetransversedirectiondominates over radiative transfer in the flow direction, a condition which is usually valid.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus
Such a magnetic field has a strong effect on the transport properties in thetransversedirection.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In this paper we therefore discuss this problem by considering a weak gradient in the plasma density in thetransversedirectionto the mode propagation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
