The properties of plasmas in the low-density limit are described by virial expansions. Analytical expressions are known for the lowest virial coefficients from Green's function approaches.Recently, accurate path-integral Monte Carlo…
Magnetized liner inertial fusion (MagLIF) operates in a regime where anisotropic transport phenomena fundamentally influence implosion dynamics. In strongly magnetized plasmas, the viscous stress tensor becomes highly anisotropic, yet no…
Quantum computers are ideally set up to solve linear systems which are of a form similar to the Schrodinger/Dirac equation of quantum mechanics. In the framework of linear response theory, the propagation and scattering of electromagnetic…
We use the 3D fully kinetic simulation to study different turbulence modes and turbulence anisotropy of relativistic turbulence in magnetically dominated collisionless plasmas. We extend the method developed by Cho & Lazarian (2002) for…
Ultrafast strong-field laser--plasma physics is shown to offer a promising framework for relativistic nonlinear quantum electrodynamics (QED). As one of its key advantages, this approach to relativistic nonlinear QED does not require an…
The development of operational scenarios without large Type-I ELMs is of utmost importance for the stable operation and longevity of future tokamaks. The EUROfusion tokamak exploitation program has therefore made the understanding of…
Zonal flows and turbulence spreading play important roles in magnetic fusion plasma confinement, yet their coupling mechanisms remain elusive. Using global nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations, we show that turbulence spreading transports…
A physics-informed neural network (PINN) is developed, for the first time, to learn the time-dependent quasi-static magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations in axisymmetric tokamak geometry, without any experimental or synthetic data. The…
We report the experimental observation of highly nonlinear coherent structures in a linear magnettized plasma characterized by a strong background density gradient and significant ExB velocity shear under high ion-neutral collisionality.…
The micro-newton cusped field Hall thruster is an electric propulsion device that employs microwave-assisted ionization control. It serves as an actuator in drag-free control systems, ensuring control accuracy and stability by providing…
Kinetic Alfven waves (KAWs) are fundamental to energy transport and small-scale structure formation in the turbulent, magnetized interstellar medium (ISM). While first-order Korteweg--de Vries (KdV) models describe weakly nonlinear KAW…
Dusty plasmas, composed of electrons, ions, neutral particles, and charged dust grains, exhibit self-organization phenomena such as string-like structures observed in microgravity experiments. The formation of these structures is influenced…
We investigate the interplay between shear viscosity and diffusion in a 2D Yukawa liquid subjected to an external magnetic field.
Accurate models of the scrape-off layer are required for the design and operation of tokamak fusion reactors. Scrape-off layer simulations are computationally expensive, difficult to operate and suffer from numerical instabilities. A…
High-energy terahertz pulses are challenging to produce due to the low conversion efficiency and limited optical damage threshold of nonlinear crystals. Here, we describe the high-efficiency generation of terahertz radiation pulses with…
It is a widely accepted paradigm that collisionless magnetic reconnection proceeds at a universal fast rate of $\sim0.1$ when normalized to a properly defined reconnecting magnetic field and Alfv\'en speed, effectively independent of the…
We present a first-principles explanation of the recombination requirement for benign termination of relativistic electron (RE) beams in tokamaks. Kinetic modeling including neutrals shows that the injection of neutrals over a finite…
Recent stellarator reactor designs demonstrate mostly outward turbulent particle transport, which, without advanced fueling technology, inhibits the formation of density gradients needed for confinement. We introduce ``SQuID-$\tau$'', a…
Plasma disruption presents a significant challenge in tokamak fusion, where it can cause severe damage and economic losses. Current disruption predictors mainly rely on data-driven methods, requiring extensive discharge data for training.…
