Pedestal Relaxation Events (PREs) appear in I-mode discharges close to the I-H transition. Although they show certain similarities with Edge Localised Modes (ELMs), i.e. periodic energy ejections, the underlying mechanism seems to be very…
This work presents a model for generating nonthermal power-law tails of particles' energy probability density functions in turbulent collisionless plasmas, applicable to both non-relativistic and relativistic scenarios. We propose that…
Outside the core of the plasma, the plasma current and pressure rapidly transition to zero in a scrape-off or edge region or plasma-vacuum interface. However, existing tools for fixed-boundary magnetohydrodynamic equilibria in 2D and 3D…
We present a theoretical model of the ionization-recombination balance in the ultracold Rydberg gas-plasma mixture, which is caused by the collective processes rather than by individual interparticle interactions. This should be well…
The optimized stellarator is an attractive concept for which the averaged particle radial drift is zero, and the single particle loss can be significantly reduced. But for the reactor design, global physics such as turbulent transport also…
Stark broadening of spectral lines in plasmas is a cornerstone of opacity modeling and plasma diagnostics, with critical implications for controlled fusion and astrophysics. Despite recent advances in fully quantum-mechanical close-coupling…
Through 2D3V PIC simulations of freely decaying sub-ion turbulence, intermittent localized regions with $\mathbf{E} \cdot \mathbf{B} \neq 0$ are found, in the early electron-scale interaction phase, to be statistically associated with…
Recent theoretical studies suggest that solenoidal turbulence can significantly enhance fusion reactivity, yet no standard diagnostic exists to directly measure these solenoidal flows in high-energy-density plasmas, nor to distinguish…
We investigate the development of tearing-mode instability using the highest-resolution two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of reconnecting current sheets performed on a uniform grid, for Lundquist numbers of $10^3 \le S \le 5…
Edge localized mode (ELM) pacing via vertical plasma oscillations or jogging has been successfully demonstrated on DIII-D. Rapid vertical movement of the plasma toward the X-point has been shown to effectively trigger ELMs. By vertically…
The efficiency of recombination is of crucial importance for the existence of ultracold plasmas (UCP), particularly, the ones formed in the magneto-optical traps. Unfortunately, the equilibrium thermodynamic treatment of the…
Finite Larmor radius magnetohydrodynamics (FLR-MHD) provides a hybrid model of plasma that explains how turbulent energy cascade extends to sufficiently small parallel length scales, potentially leading to perpendicular heating of the ions…
The excitation of plasma wakefields driven by chirped laser pulses is investigated using a reduced relativistic fluid Poisson model supported by fully relativistic particle in cell (PIC) simulations. The study considers exponential, linear,…
Current density perturbations induced by radiative collapse, which is a possible mechanism governing tokamak plasma disruptions, have been investigated using a reaction-diffusion model. The reaction term of the current diffusion equation,…
A model for mildly relativistic Runaway Electrons (REs) is developed in a reduced-kinetic form and qualitatively compared with radiation characteristics observed in KSTAR ohmic startup. The mildly relativistic correction not only alleviates…
This paper presents an updated n=1 error field penetration threshold scaling, which increases fit quality compared to previous error field scaling laws, is produced from an expanded database, and exhibits reduced uncertainty in projections…
Thermal plasma properties play a critical role in plasma simulations and plasma-related applications. However, their strong nonlinear dependence on temperature, pressure, and gas composition makes accurate and efficient evaluation…
X-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) is a common diagnostic used in the warm dense matter (WDM) regime to estimate plasma parameters like density, temperature and charge state. Experimental analysis typically relies on a forward model to obtain…
The standard architecture for a high-peak-power femtosecond laser is chirped pulse amplification using diffraction gratings for compression; the damage threshold of the compression gratings limits current lasers to multi-petawatt peak…
We present a statistical mechanics framework for modeling equilibrium friction coefficients using the Generalized Langevin Equation (GLE). We show that the kernel, obtained via the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem (FDT) from the stochastic…
