Kinetic Optimization of Magnetic Mirror Confinement: Beyond Classical Loss-Cone Theory
Lukas Einkemmer, Martin Guerra, Qin Li +1
Magnetic mirrors are among the conceptually simplest plasma confinement configurations and remain promising candidates for thermonuclear fusion. Their design requires shaping an ex…
Control of kinetic plasma instabilities by laser fields
Nicolas Crouseilles, Lukas Einkemmer, Qin Li +2
We study the possibility of controlling kinetic plasma instabilities by using lasers to apply external electromagnetic fields. We derive the dispersion relation for the correspondi…
Stabilization of beam heated plasmas by beam modulation
Lukas Einkemmer
A constant intensity beam that propagates into a stationary plasma results in a bump-on-tail feature in velocity space. This results in an instability that transfers kinetic energy…
Control of Instability in a Vlasov-Poisson System Through an External Electric Field
Lukas Einkemmer, Qin Li, Clément Mouhot +1
Plasma instabilities are a major concern in plasma science, for applications ranging from particle accelerators to nuclear fusion reactors. In this work, we consider the possibilit…
Efficient 6D Vlasov simulation using the dynamical low-rank framework Ensign
Fabio Cassini, Lukas Einkemmer
Running kinetic simulations using grid-based methods is extremely expensive due to the up to six-dimensional phase space. Recently, it has been shown that dynamical low-rank algori…
