Physics of Plasmas, published by AIP Publishing in cooperation with the APS Division of Plasma Physics, is committed to the publication of original research in all areas of experimental, computational, and theoretical plasma physics. Physics of Plasmas publishes in-depth review manuscripts, forward-looking perspectives, Tutorials on active topics, and Special Topics highlighting new developments. Every year a special issue publishes the invited and review papers from the most recent meeting of the APS Division of Plasma Physics.
This paper, extended from a Letter [Chen et al., Phys. Rev. E 110 , L013201 (2024)] published in Phys. Rev. E in 2024, presents detailed results from a set of experiments studying the x-ray drive ...
Christopher J. McDevitt, Jonathan S. Arnaud et al.
An adjoint formulation leveraging a physics-informed neural network (PINN) is employed to advance the density moment of a runaway electron (RE) distribution forward in time. A distinguishing feature ...
Christopher J. McDevitt, Jonathan S. Arnaud et al.
This work extends the adjoint-deep learning framework for runaway electron (RE) evolution, developed by McDevitt et al. [Phys. Plasmas 32 , 042503 (2025)], to account for large-angle collisions. By ...
We present the development of a 1.2 THz third-harmonic continuous-wave gyrotron, designed to deliver tens of watts of output for dynamic nuclear polarization nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. ...
The magnetic nozzle is a magnetic structure composed of a convergent-divergent (or simply divergent) coaxial magnetic field. Similar to the de Laval nozzle used in traditional chemical propulsion, ...
This study investigates a method for estimating two-dimensional velocities from coarse-grained imaging data tailored for plasma diagnostics. The method utilizes measurements from three non-collinear ...
In this paper, a novel G-band high-power sheet electron beam traveling wave tube (TWT) is designed by integrating piece-wise sine waveguide and sheet electron beam. First, a sheet-beam ...
When ultracold plasma is generated using the photoionization of laser-cooled atoms, some atoms reach only up to Rydberg states. These, in turn, interact with the free electrons of the plasma and get ...
Two primary systems planned for disruption mitigation in the SPARC tokamak, massive gas injection (MGI), and the runaway electron mitigation coil (REMC), are modeled with the 3D MHD code NIMROD. MGI ...
