Mode transitions and spoke structures in ExB Penning discharge
M. Tyushev, M. Papahn Zadeh, N. S. Chopra +7
Two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations in the (radial-azimuthal) plane perpendicular to the axial direction of a cylindrical ExB Penning discharge are presented. The low-pres…

Drift-kinetic PIC simulations of plasma flow and energy transport in the magnetic mirror configuration
M. Tyushev, A. Smolyakov, A. Sabo +3
Plasma flow and acceleration in a magnetic mirror configuration are studied using a drift-kinetic particles-in-cell model in the paraxial approximation, with an emphasis on finite…
