Controlling and monitoring plasma within a tokamak device is complex and challenging. Plasma off-normal events, such as disruptions, are hindering steady-state operation. For large devices, they can even endanger the machine's integrity and…
Confinement quality in fusion plasma is significantly influenced by the presence of heavy impurities, which can lead to radiative heat loss and reduced confinement. This study explores the clustering of heavy impurity, \textit{i.e.},…
Bootstrap current in stellarators can be presented as a sum of a collisionless value given by the Shaing-Callen asymptotic formula and an off-set current, which non-trivially depends on plasma collisionality and radial electric field. Using…
The Floquet exponents of periodic field lines are studied through the variations of the magnetic action on the magnetic axis, which is assumed to be elliptical. The near-axis formalism developed by Mercier, Solov'ev and Shafranov is…
This paper gives a summary of a talk by the author at the mini-conference entitled Progress in Making IFE-based Concepts a Reality at the APS-DPP meeting in Atlanta in October, 2024. It argues principally for a new DoE lab to examine the…
A new mechanism of enhanced laser energy absorption in plasma microglobules is demonstrated with the help of two-dimensional Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulations. The mechanism relies on the excitation of surface and bulk waves and the…
This study explores the dynamic evolution of dust electrical potential and plasma particle number densities with a focus on the charging of dust grains through electron and ion absorption, as described by the orbital motion limited (OML)…
Resilient divertor features connected to open chaotic edge structures in the Helically Symmetric Experiment (HSX) are investigated. For the first time, an expanded vessel wall was considered that would give space for implementation of a…
An imaging refractrometer can be used to describe the properties of a high-energy density plasma by analyzing the transverse intensity distribution of a laser beam that has passed through the plasma. The output of the refractrometer can be…
The well-known ponderomotive force, arising from the interaction of matter and light, has critical implications across a broad range of fields from laser fusion and astrophysics to laser diagnostics and even pulsed-power experiments. This…
In this work, an 1D electrostatic hybrid-Particle-in-Cell-Monte-Carlo-Collisionh-PIC-MCC) code is used to study the response of a plasma to a moving, external, charged perturbation (debris). We show that the so-called pinned solitons can…
Inference of joule-class THz radiation sources from microchannel targets driven with hundreds of joule, picosecond lasers is reported. THz sources of this magnitude are useful for nonlinear pumping of matter and for charged-particle…
We present the 2D gyrofluid magnetic reconnection code GREENY (Gyrofluid Reconnection with Extended Electromagnetic Nonlinearity). After a brief introduction to gyrofluids, magnetic reconnection, and the implemented models, we discuss the…
Plasma turbulent transport was investigated at the edge of the GOLEM tokamak. For this purpose, ion saturation current fluctuations were measured by means of Langmuir probes. Plasma stabilization was not activated during the discharges…
The multi-stage method of laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) presents a promising approach for developing stable, full-optical, high-energy electron accelerators. By segmenting the acceleration process into several booster stages, each…
This paper reexamines the linear plasma response to a static resonant error field (EF) in the single-fluid rotating visco-resistive magneto-hydrodinamic (MHD). A tearing-mode stable, rotating plasma shields a resonant static EF by a current…
Exceptional pulse contrast can be critical for ultraintense laser experiments, particularly when using solid density targets, and their use is becoming widespread. However, current plasma mirror technology is becoming inadequate for the new…
Three-dimensional turbulence simulations of a RFX-mod diverted plasma are performed in the presence of a biasing electrode. The simulations show a strong suppression of turbulent transport caused by the induced $\mathbf{E}\times\mathbf{B}$…
For the representation of axi-symmetric plasma configurations, it is natural to use cyl. coordinates (R,Z,$\phi$), where $\phi$ is an independent coordinate. The same cyl. coordinates have also been widely used for representing 3D MHD…
This paper presents a theoretical model of plasma equilibrium in the diamagnetic confinement mode in an axisymmetric mirror device with neutral beam injection. The hot ionic component is described within the framework of the kinetic theory,…
