High-order plasma shaping (mainly elongation and shift, as opposed to low-order toroidicity) is shown, under certain conditions, to open gaps in the coupled shear-Alfv\'{e}n and acoustic continua at frequencies significantly above the…
Charged particles gyrate around magnetic field lines, a property that is exploited to confine plasma in magnetic confinement fusion devices. Typically, the gyroradius is small compared to the system size and thus the gyromotion can be…
Confinement phenomenology characteristic of magnetically confined plasmas emerges naturally from a simple sandpile algorithm when the parameter controlling redistribution scalelength is varied. Close analogues are found for enhanced…
The ITG and TEM instabilities with quasi-coherent spectra have been identified experimentally, by the newly developed far-forward collective scattering measurements in J-TEXT tokamak Ohmical plasmas. The ITG mode has characteristic…
Edge plasma density fluctuations are shown to have a significant effect on the electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) beam in the DIII-D tokamak. Experimental measurements of the ECRH deposition profile have been taken in three…
The emergence and merging of high-density coherent structures - plasma blobs - is a recurrent phenomenon in the Scrape-off layer (SOL) of a tokamak plasma that has a significant impact on the rate of convective transport in that region. We…
We demonstrate plasma discharges with extremely high temperature of bulk electrons at the large axially symmetric magnetic mirror device GDT (Budker Institute, Novosibirsk). According to Thomson scattering measurements, the on-axis electron…
Investigation of the specific oscillations with frequencies 15-30 kHz on the T-10 tokamak (R= 150cm, a = 30 cm) with Heavy Ion Beam Probe (HIBP) diagnostic was conducted in regimes with off-axis ECRH (B = 2.33 T, Ip= 220 kA, r_ECRH=12 cm).…
The experimental conditions leading to substantial reduction of backscattering decay instability threshold in ECRH experiments in toroidal devices are analyzed. It is shown that drastic decrease of threshold is provided by non monotonic…
We present a model for the particle balance in the post-disruption runaway electron plateau phase of a tokamak discharge. The model is constructed with the help of, and applied to, experimental data from TCV discharges investigating the…
The properties of the boundary plasma in a tokamak are now recognized to play a key role in determining the achievable fusion power and the lifetimes of plasma-facing components. Accurate quantitative modeling and improved qualitative…
Recent studies have shown direct ion heating (vashistha2020new,Juneja_2023) by lasers EM (Electromagnetic) wave interacting with a plasma threaded by an external uniform magnetic field. The EM wave frequency was near the lower hybrid (LH)…
In this manuscript, a fluid model is utilized to calculate the density of plasma species assuming geometrically symmetric Ar/CF4 Radiofrequency Capacitively Coupled Plasmas. The electrodes are driven by a sinusoidal waefront with an…
Understanding the interaction of kilojoule, picosecond laser pulse with long-scale length preplasma or homogeneous near critical density (NCD) plasma is crucial for guiding experiments at national short-pulse laser facilities. Using full…
The mean parallel current density evolution equation is presented using electromagnetic (EM) gyrokinetic equation. There exist two types of intrinsic current driving mechanisms resulted from EM electron temperature gradient (ETG)…
Negative triangularity (NT) tokamak configurations have several key benefits including sufficient core confinement, improved power handling, and reduced edge pressure gradients that allow for edge-localized mode (ELM) free operation. We…
Optimizing laser and plasma parameters is crucial for enhancing accelerated proton energy in laser-driven proton acceleration with finite laser energy for applications such as cancer therapy. Tight focusing plays a significant role in…
Negative triangularity tokamak plasmas feature naturally enhanced confinement in the so-called L-mode regime, irrespective of the power of external heating. This is in contrast to conventional scenarios, which require exceeding a given…
Avoidance of the harmful effects of runaway electrons (REs) in plasma-terminating disruptions is pivotal in the design of safety systems for magnetic fusion devices. Here, we describe a computationally efficient numerical tool, that allows…
A large class of Laboratory, Space, and Astrophysical plasmas is nearly collisionless. When a localized energy or particle sink, for example, in the form of a radiative cooling spot or a black hole, is introduced into such a plasma, it can…
