Efficiency and Physical Limitations of Adiabatic Direct Energy Conversion in Axisymmetric Fields
J. -M. Rax, E. J. Kolmes, N. J. Fisch
We describe and analyze a new class of direct energy conversion schemes based on the adiabatic magnetic drift of charged particles in axisymmetric magnetic fields. The efficiency o…

Coriolis Forces Modify Magnetostatic Ponderomotive Potentials
E. J. Kolmes, N. J. Fisch
It is possible to produce a ponderomotive effect in a plasma system without time-varying fields, if the plasma flows over spatial oscillations in the field. This can be achieved by…

Upper and Lower Bounds on Phase-Space Rearrangements
E. J. Kolmes, N. J. Fisch
Broad classes of plasma phenomena can be understood in terms of phase-space rearrangements. For example, the net effect of a wave-particle interaction may consist of moving populat…
