A previously found definition of complexity for spherically symmetric fluid distributions [1], is extended to axially symmetric static sources. In this case there are three different complexity factors, defined in terms of three structure…
The collisional dynamics of test impurity ions in spherical tokamak plasmas with strongly-sheared radial electric fields is investigated by means of a test particle full orbit simulation code. The strength of the shear is such that the…
A new plasma state has been investigated [C.~Akcay, J.~Finn, R.~Nebel and D.~Barnes, Phys.~Plasmas $\textbf{24}$, 052503 (2017)], with a uniform applied axial magnetic field in a periodic cylinder of length $L=2\pi R$, driven by helical…
Rotation of tokamak-plasmas, not at the mechanical equilibrium, is investigated utilizing a theorem of thermodynamics, established by Prigogine. This theorem, suitably applied to toroidally confined plasmas, suggests that the global…
Motivated by a scenario of magnetogenesis in which a homogeneous magnetic field is generated during inflation, we study the magnetohydrodynamic evolution of the primordial plasma motions for two kinds of initial conditions -- (i) a…
Deuterium-tritium (DT) burning requires a long energy confinement times compared to collision times, so the particle distribution functions must approximate local-Maxwellians. Non-equilibrium thermodynamics is applicable, which gives…
The accurate modeling of plasma-based accelerators relies on costly numerical simulations due to the complexity of laser-plasma and beam-plasma interactions. Several strategies can highly reduce the computational cost compared to 3D…
We present a simple formula for the Hamiltonian in terms of the actions for spherically symmetric, scale-free potentials. The Hamiltonian is a power-law or logarithmic function of a linear combination of the actions. Our expression reduces…
In tokamak plasmas, sheared flows perpendicular to the driving temperature gradients can strongly stabilize linear modes. While the system is linearly stable, regimes with persistent nonlinear turbulence may develop, i.e. the system is…
Due to their capability to reduce turbulent transport in magnetized plasmas, understanding the dynamics of zonal flows is an important problem in the fusion programme. Since the pioneering work by Rosenbluth and Hinton in axisymmetric…
The quantum theories of boson and fermion fields with quadratic nonstationary Hamiltoanians are rigorously constructed. The representation of the algebra of observables is given by the Hamiltonian diagonalization procedure. The sufficient…
A qualitative theoretical approach is proposed for the study of fast ion behavior in tokamak plasmas with a current hole. For the equilibrium magnetic configuration in a current hole tokamak we employ a simplified model based on an…
P and CP violation in cosmology can be manifested as large-scale helical velocity flows in the ambient plasma and as primordial helical magnetic fields. We show that kinetic helicity at last scattering leads to temperature-polarization…
High energy photons can be generated via inverse Compton scattering (ICS) in the collision between energetic electrons and intense laser pulse. The development of laser plasma accelerators promises compact and all-optical gamma-ray sources…
A charged particle in a suitably strong magnetic field spirals along the field lines while slowly drifting transversely. This note provides a brief derivation of an effective Lagrangian formulation for the guiding-centre approximation that…
This paper is concerned with the existence of metrics of constant Hermitian scalar curvature on almost-K\"ahler manifolds obtained as smoothings of a constant scalar curvature K\"ahler orbifold, with $A_1$ singularities. More precisely,…
The accumulation of impurities in the core of magnetically confined plasmas, resulting from standard collisional transport mechanisms, is a known threat to their performance as fusion energy sources. Whilst the axisymmetric tokamak systems…
The equilibrium of an axisymmetric magnetically confined plasma with anisotropic resistivity and toroidal flow is investigated in the framework of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). The stationary states are determined by an elliptic differential…
Recently Kleides et al [IJMPA \textbf{11}, 1697 (2008)] found a growing rate for magnetic fields in ideal plasma cosmologies by making use of general relativistic Friedmann model. This growth rate of…
Among all the PT-symmetric potentials defined on complex coordinate contours C(s), the name "quantum toboggan" is reserved for those whose C(s) winds around a singularity and lives on at least two different Riemann sheets. An enriched menu…
