Sheath collapse at critical shallow angle due to kinetic effects

Alessandro Geraldini

The Debye sheath is known to vanish completely in magnetised plasmas for a sufficiently small electron gyroradius and small angle between the magnetic field and the wall. This angle depends on the current onto the wall. When the Debye sheath vanishes, ther ...

Charging and ion ejection dynamics of large helium nanodroplets exposed to intense femtosecond soft X-ray pulses

Christoph Bostedt, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira

Ion ejection from charged helium nanodroplets exposed to intense femtosecond soft X-ray pulses is studied by single-pulse ion time-of-flight (TOF) spectroscopy in coincidence with small-angle X-ray scattering. Scattering images encode the droplet size and ...

Nonlinear Gyrokinetic Coulomb Collision Operator

Paolo Ricci, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge, Baptiste Jimmy Frei

A gyrokinetic Coulomb collision operator is derived, which is particularly useful to describe the plasma dynamics at the periphery region of magnetic confinement fusion devices. The derived operator is able to describe collisions occurring in distribution ...

Linear collisionless dynamics of the GAM with kinetic electrons: Comparison simulations/theory

Alberto Bottino, Peter François Tony Donnel

Barely trapped and passing electrons have been recently predicted to strongly enhance the damping rate of Geodesic Acoustic Modes (GAMs) in tokamak plasmas, while keeping their real frequency almost unchanged as compared to the case with adiabatic electron ...

Non-reciprocal magnons in non-centrosymmetric MnSi

Thomas Alois Weber, Gregory Scott Tucker

Using two cold-neutron triple-axis spectrometers we have succeeded in fully mapping out the field-dependent evolution of the non-reciprocal magnon dispersion relations in all magnetic phases of MnSi. The non-reciprocal nature of the dispersion manifests it ...

Cross-code gyrokinetic verification and benchmark on the linear collisionless dynamics of the geodesic acoustic mode

Alberto Bottino, Gabriele Merlo

The linear properties of the geodesic acoustic modes (GAMs) in tokamaks are investigated by means of the comparison of analytical theory and gyrokinetic numerical simulations. The dependence on the value of the safety factor, finite-orbit-width of the ions ...

Invariant-mass and fractional-energy dependence of inclusive production of dihadrons in e(+) e(-) annihilation at root s=10.58 GeV

Olivier Schneider, Chao Wang, Sun Hee Kim, Tara Nanut, Jun Yong Kim

The inclusive cross sections for dihadrons of charged pions and kaons (e(+)e(-) -> hhX) in electron-positron annihilation are reported. They are obtained as a function of the total fractional energy and invariant mass for any di-hadron combination in the s ...

Development and application of Eulerian and Particle-in-Cell gyrokinetic codes for studying the effect of non-adiabatic passing electron dynamics on microturbulence

Julien Stanislas Pierre Dominski

In tokamak fusion plasmas, micro-turbulence transport is known to be the cause of large losses of heat and particles. The present work deals with the study of electrostatic micro-turbulence transport driven by instabilities of essentially two types: the io ...

Investigating profile stiffness and critical gradients in shaped TCV discharges using local gyrokinetic simulations of turbulent transport

Olivier Sauter, Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Yann Camenen, Alessandro Marinoni, Gabriele Merlo

The experimental observation made on the TCV tokamak of a significant confinement improvement in plasmas with negative triangularity (delta < 0) compared to those with standard positive triangularity has been interpreted in terms of different degrees of pr ...
