Magnetic reconnection occurs when oppositely directed magnetic fields are forced together in plasmas, which are excellent electrical conductors. A
Just like when pushing a playground swing, energy is only transferred from the electron beam to the whistler wave when the “pushing”
An important step for simplifying the complex production of 3-D fields in a tokamak is to build a matrix that relates the external 3-D magnetic
High-energy electrons play an important role in auroras. However, previous dynamical simulations either did not incorporate critical electron
In this work, the classical expression for the growth of a magnetic island’s size is extended to include the effect of island asymmetry
In recent experiments, the DIII-D team has shown that reducing the injection energy of neutral particle beams late in a plasma discharge can
A novel focusing scheme, called a flying focus, uses a chromatic focusing system combined with chirped laser pulses to enable a small-diameter
The computer simulations are fully corroborated by the theoretical predictions of a new phenomenological theory, putting the conclusions on a solid
The mechanism behind the magnetic flux pumping in the numerical simulations works as follows: if the central current profile is flat and if the
Coherence imaging measures red- and blue-shifted emission from ions radiating in the visible spectrum by combining an interferometer with a fast
