Research Article
N. F. Beier, V. Senthilkumaran et al.
Betatron radiation produced from a laser-wakefield accelerator is a broadband, hard x-ray (>1 keV) source that has been used in a variety of applications in medicine, engineering, and fundamental ...
Research Article
Hanqing Ma, J. F. Drake et al.
The consequences of a 90° barrier in the scattering of energetic electrons by whistler waves are explored with self-consistent two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. In the presence of a 90° ...
Research Article
E.-H. Kim, M. Ono et al.
Helicon waves are thought to be promising in various tokamaks, such as DIII-D, because they can penetrate reactor-grade high-density cores and drive the off-axis current with higher efficiency. In ...
