Four-dimensional drift-kinetic model for scrape-off layer plasmas

Paolo Ricci, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge

A four-dimensional plasma model able to describe the scrape-off layer region of tokamak devices at arbitrary collisionality is derived in the drift-reduced limit. The basis of the model is provided by a drift-kinetic equation that retains the full nonlinea ...

Unexpected Indirect Dynamics in Base-Induced Elimination

Eduardo Carrascosa Casado

Base-induced elimination (E2) and bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (S(N)2) are two of the most versatile reactions that are important in preparative organic chemistry. These stereospecific reactions are often found in direct competition with each othe ...

Sub-Kelvin stereodynamics of the Ne(3P2)+N2 reaction

Andreas Osterwalder, Junwen Zou, Sean Dennis Steven Gordon

We present an experimental study of the low-energy stereodynamics of the Ne(3P2)+N2 reaction. Supersonic expansions of the two reactants are superposed in a merged beam experiment, where individual velocity control of the two beams allows us to reach avera ...

Energy and orientation independence of the channel branching in Ne* + ND3 chemi-ionisation

Andreas Osterwalder, Sean Dennis Steven Gordon

Collisions of excited neon atoms with ammonia molecules can lead to two reaction processes, dissociative ionisation and Penning ionisation. Both processes result in the ionisation of the ammonia molecule and redistribution of the electronic energy into the ...

Particle transport at arbitrary timescales with Poisson-distributed collisions

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Fabian Manke

We develop a model to investigate the time evolution of the mean location and variance of a random walker subject to Poisson-distributed collisions at constant rate. The collisions are instantaneous velocity changes where a new value of velocity is generat ...

Differential steric effects in the inelastic scattering of NO(X) plus Ar: spin-orbit changing transitions

Sean Dennis Steven Gordon

Spin-orbit changing transitions for bond-axis oriented collisions of NO(X) with Ar have been investigated with full quantum state selection via a crossed molecular beam experiment at collision energies of 532 cm(-1) and 651 cm(-1). NO(X) molecules were sel ...

Linear theory of electron-plasma waves at arbitrary collisionality

Paolo Ricci, Stephan Brunner, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge

The dynamics of electron-plasma waves is described at arbitrary collisionality by considering the full Coulomb collision operator. The description is based on a Hermite–Laguerre decomposition of the velocity dependence of the electron distribution function ...
