Interchange transport in electron-positron plasmas with ion impurities
arXiv:1807.09133 · doi:10.1063/1.5051452
Abstract
Interchange drive and cross-field transport of density filaments in quasi-neutral inhomogeneously magnetized electron-positron plasmas is shown to be strongly reduced by the presence of minority ions. Two mechanisms are identified for the reduction in radial propagation and plasma transport: effective mass related inertia, and collisionality dependent Boltzmann spin-up of the filaments. Numerical results are obtained with a three-dimensional full-F multi-species gyrofluid model.
