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 explores the capabilities of generative artificial intelligence (AI) for target optimization in inertial confinement fusion for energy production. For demonstration purposes, the focus is ...
A one-dimensional Vlasov–Poisson system is considered to elucidate how the information entropies of the probability distribution functions of the electron position and velocity variables evolve in ...
A set of nonlinear simulations has been performed in order to study the nonlinear evolution of unstable global Alfvén eigenmodes in the National Spherical Torus Experiment-Upgrade (NSTX-U). Results ...
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 ...
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° ...
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 ...
Reduced models for approximating the impact of kinetic electron behavior on the transport of thermal energy and magnetic field are investigated. The thermal flux limiter has improved agreement with ...
An X-band high-power microwave (HPM) oscillator packaged with permanent magnets is proposed. The oscillator employs a radially non-uniform modulation cavity structure to enhance the modulation depth ...
