Numerical simulation of the large-gap and small-gap pre-ionized direct-current glow discharges in atmospheric helium
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2023. A one-dimensional self-consistent fluid model was employed to comparatively investigate the influence of pre-ionization on the helium direct-current glow discharge in the large gap and the small gap a…
Spatial distribution modulation of laser-accelerated charged particles with micro-tube structures
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2023. We present experimental studies on the spatial distribution of charged particles using a linearly polarized femtosecond laser interacting with a micro-structure target composed of micro-tube structure…
Low-frequency shear Alfvén waves at DIII-D: Theoretical interpretation of experimental observations
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2023. The linear properties of the low-frequency shear Alfvén waves such as those associated with the beta-induced Alfvén eigenmodes (BAEs) and the low-frequency modes observed in reversed-magnetic-shear DI…
Development of the neutral model in the nonlinear MHD code JOREK: Application to E × B drifts in ITER PFPO-1 plasmas
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2023. The prediction of power fluxes and plasma-wall interactions impacted by MHD processes during ITER operation [disruption, Edge Localized Modes (ELMs), 3D magnetic fields applied for ELM control, etc.] …
Full-f gyrokinetic simulations of Ohmic L-mode plasmas in linear and saturated Ohmic confinement regimes
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2023. Two time slices in linear and saturated Ohmic confinement (LOC and SOC) regimes in a Tore Supra Ohmic L-mode discharge are analyzed using nonlinear global full-f gyrokinetic simulations, and qualitati…
From a single dust grain to basic thermodynamics
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2023. This contribution summarizes recent experiments in dusty plasmas and puts their results into context. The aim is to discuss the fundamental question whether a dusty plasma can be regarded as a model s…
An improved resistance model of positive subsonic plasma channels in water
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2023. The subsonic plasma channel and water can be regarded as series resistors in the pre-breakdown stage of sub-millisecond pulsed discharge in conductive water. An improved resistance model of the positi…
On power and fundamental resistance relations in symmetric RF CCPs by simulating simplified nonlinear circuits
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2023. Voltage and current measured from radio frequency (RF) capacitively coupled plasmas (CCPs) are basic data, from which various powers and impedances are subsequently calculated via fast Fourier transfo…
Sensitivity of synchrotron radiation to the superthermal electron population in mildly relativistic plasma
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2023. Synchrotron radiation has markedly different behavior in [math] and in [math] plasma. We show that high-energy electrons that occupy the tail of velocity distribution function have disproportionate im…
