    • Turbulent field fluctuations in gyrokinetic and fluid plasmas 

      Mathews, Abhilash; Mandell, N.; Francisquez, M.; Hughes, Jerry W.; Hakim, A. (AIP, 2021-07)
      A key uncertainty in the design and development of magnetic confinement fusion energy reactors is predicting edge plasma turbulence. An essential step in overcoming this uncertainty is the validation in accuracy of reduced ...

    • Mildly relativistic collisionless shock formed by magnetic piston 

      Moreno, Q.; Araudo, A.; Korneev, Ph.; Li, Chi-Kang; Tikhonchuk, V.T.; e.a. (AIP, 2020-05)
      By using particle-in-cell simulations, we study the collision of two plasma flows with one of them carrying a magnetic field. Ion interpenetration results in the formation of a magnetic piston with the magnetic field ...

    • Principal factors in performance of indirect-drive laser fusion experiments 

      Thomas, C.A.; Campbell, E.M.; Baker, K.L.; Casey, D.T.; Hohenberger, M.; e.a. (AIP, 2020-06)
      Progress in inertial confinement fusion depends on the accurate interpretation of experiments that are complex and difficult to explain with simulations. Results could depend on small changes in the laser pulse or target ...
