Perturbative Determination of Plasma Microinstabilities in Tokamaks
A. O. Nelson, F. M. Laggner, A. Diallo +3
Recently, theoretical analysis has identified plasma microinstabilities as the primary mechanism responsible for anomalous heat transport in tokamaks. In particular, the microteari…

Feasibility Study of a Laser-Based Approach for Diagnosing Deuterium Neutrals in the Edge of Fusion Devices
David Feng, Ahmed Diallo, Mikhail N. Shneider
In magnetically-confined plasmas of tokamaks, neutral deuterium/hydrogen (D/H) atoms play a role in energy, momentum, and particle balance, as well as the stabilization of plasma t…

Controlling azimuthal spoke modes in cylindrical Hall thruster using a segmented anode
Yuan Shi, Yevgeny Raitses
Azimuthal spoke-like modes commonly occur in ExB discharges. The natural occurrence of the spoke mode is correlated with changes of plasma parameters. Here, instead of allowing the…
