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.
The majority of studies on laser-driven proton–boron nuclear reaction is based on the measurement of α -particles with solid-state nuclear tracks detector (Cr39). However, Cr39's interpretation ...
The usual approach on electrostatic wave decay process for a weak beam-plasma system considers two different wave modes interplaying, the Langmuir and ion-sound mode. In the present paper, a ...
We present numerical simulations used to interpret laser-driven plasma experiments at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research. The mechanisms by which non-thermal particles are accelerated in ...
In this study, a well-defined and controlled plasma-droplet two-phase flow millifluidic system was developed. We established a detailed quantitative relationship among plasma discharge ...
The applicability of relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD) and its generalization to two-fluid models (including the Hall and inertial effects) is systematically investigated by using the method ...
We report on abnormal topological structures in the particles and electromagnetic field distributions induced by current filamentation instability, with emphasis on the effects of plasma ions. In the ...
Two series of conical wire holders were designed that can generate different values of positive (with outward direction) and negative (with inward direction) radial electric fields on wire surfaces ...
We report on an experiment performed at the Laser Mégajoule facility to investigate on cross-beam energy transfer (CBET) between two kilojoule-nanosecond laser beams propagating through a neo-pentane ...
Anomalous transport of mixed deuterium–tritium plasma in the edge of magnetic fusion reactors is investigated using numerical solutions of resistive drift wave turbulence model equations, including ...
