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.
Previous investigations on JET suggest half or less of plasma stored thermal energy W t h is radiated ( f rad , t h ≲ 0.5 ) using either massive gas injection (MGI) or ...
Klystrons designed for high-power, high-efficiency (HE) microwave amplification typically suffer from limited instantaneous bandwidth. Improving bandwidth is critical for enhancing device ...
The KINetic-scale Energy and momentum Transport eXperiment (KiNET-X) sounding rocket mission investigated energy and momentum transport in the ionosphere caused by the known input of two barium ...
A 2D-3V Monte Carlo simulation was carried out to study runaway electron (RE) focusing by an inhomogeneous magnetic field in atmospheric pressure nitrogen. Two electrode configurations were ...
A novel experimental approach to estimating the kinetic energy of a picosecond runaway electron bunch formed in an air electrode gap is proposed. When such an electron bunch travels in a longitudinal ...
Long-duration one-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations are presented of Buneman-unstable, initially Maxwellian, electron and ion distributions shifted with respect to one another, providing ...
Inward particle transport improves plasma confinement and facilitates the formation of transport barriers, thereby achieving advanced operating modes. However, a comprehensive understanding of the ...
Experiments at the spherical tokamak Globus-M2 exhibited the edge-localized modes (ELMs) onsets at the lowest observable pressures ( P = 1.2 kPa) in magnetic configuration with ...
A linear fluid model defined by the continuity equation, and the momentum and energy balance equations, valid for describing high temperature and collisionless plasmas in the presence of an ...
