Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2023. Reduction in stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) from National Ignition Facility Hohlraums has been predicted through the use of multi-ion species materials on Hohlraum walls. This approach to contr…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2023. In this work, we present a framework for the analysis and reduction of plasma mechanisms by means of weighted directed graphs, in which reactions and species are both treated as nodes. The methodology…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2023. The formation of the equilibrium radial electric field (Er) has been studied experimentally at ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) in L-modes of “favorable” (ion [math]-drift toward primary X-point) and “unfavorable”…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2023. The locking of the 2/1 tearing mode to the resistive wall in the ITER tokamak (15 MA inductive scenario 2) is investigated theoretically using a cylindrical asymptotic matching model. The model takes …
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2023. Laser plasma instabilities (LPI) reduce driver-target coupling, alter implosion symmetry, and therefore can fundamentally limit fusion performance in inertial confinement fusion (ICF). Developing a pr…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2023. In this study, an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) conversion efficiency (CE) of 6.9% was obtained in simulation by controlling the delay between a picosecond pre-pulse and a main-pulse with a wavelength of …
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2023. Inertial confined fusion experiments at the National Ignition Facility have recently entered a new regime approaching ignition. Improved modeling and exploration of the experimental parameter space we…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2023. Plasma medicine is a rapidly growing multidisciplinary field, which mainly focuses on the application of Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) in bioengineering. Several experiments have suggested that amino …
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2023. We measured the velocity distribution of ions in the ultracold neutral plasma (UNP) during its early evolution by the technique of velocity map imaging. The ion temperature during the phase of ion equ…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2023. Discharges of different polarities develop in different modes, resulting in different guiding effects by femtosecond laser filaments. Knowledge of the contribution of laser filaments to positive and n…
