Digital research data management is increasingly integrated across universities and research institutions, addressing the handling of research data throughout its lifecycle according to the FAIR data principles (Findable, Accessible,…
Using a reduced MHD model, extended to include field-aligned thermal conduction, we present numerical simulations of the churning mode (CM): a toroidally symmetric, non-linear plasma vortex in the vicinity of the null points in a snowflake…
Electron energization by magnetic reconnection has historically been studied in the Lagrangian guiding-center framework. Insights from such studies include that Fermi acceleration in magnetic islands can accelerate electrons to high…
In a uniform radio-frequency (RF) plasma between a large electrode pair, the addition of an axial magnetic field induces diverse longitudinal filaments. To reveal its pattern dynamics, we conduct two-dimensional (2D) Particle-In-Cell (PIC)…
The effective inductive (L), capacitive (C), and resistive (R) behavior of a plasma sheath in a conjoint coupled form is well familiar among plasma physics communities. A dynamic sheath instability in laboratory plasmas is systematically…
We present a comprehensive overview of the formation mechanism of plasma fireball sheath (PFS) structures, sheath-induced collective phenomena, associated relevant instabilities, and corresponding onset conditions. It includes an optimum…
Helicon waves satisfying the normal wave-particle cyclotron resonance are observed to limit the growth and maximum energy of relativistic electrons (REs) in low-density Ohmic DIII-D tokamak plasmas. Following the application of helicon…
For warm or hot and dense plasma, ionization potential depression plays a crucial role in determining the ionization balance and understanding the resulting microscopic plasma properties. However, the applicability of the widely used IPD…
Exhausting power from the hot fusion core to the plasma-facing components is one of the biggest challenges in fusion energy. The MAST Upgrade tokamak uniquely integrates strong containment of neutrals within the exhaust area (divertor) with…
Because of the speed of light compared to material motion, the dragging of light is difficult to observe under laboratory conditions. Here we report on the first observation of image rotation, i. e. a dragging by the medium of the wave's…
Bounding energetic growth of gyrokinetic instabilities is a complementary approach to linear instability analyses involving normal eigenmodes. Previous work has focused on upper bounds which are valid linearly and nonlinearly. However, if…
This paper presents a detailed study of the polarizational stopping power of a homogeneous electron gas in moderate and strong coupling regimes using the self-consistent version of the method of moments as the key theoretical approach…
With the significant advancements in parallel computing techniques, the particle-particle (PP) model has been effectively utilized in various plasma-related applications. However, PP has been limited for solving only electrostatic problems…
In next-step fusion tokamaks such as SPARC and ITER, achieving high levels of scrape-off-layer power dissipation will be essential to protect the divertor while maintaining good core plasma performance. The Lengyel model for power…
Use of lithium as a surface coating in fusion devices improves plasma performance, but the change in wall properties affects the secondary electron emission properties of the material. Lithium oxidizes easily, which drives the emission…
The "density limit" is one of the fundamental bounds on tokamak operating space, and is commonly estimated via the empirical Greenwald scaling. This limit has garnered renewed interest in recent years as it has become clear that ITER and…
High-power lasers offer ultrahigh intensities for plasma interactions, but they lack advanced techniques to control the properties of the fields, because no optical elements could withstand their high intensities. The vibrant field of…
