Electron-only reconnection and inverse magnetic-energy transfer at sub-ion scales
Zhuo Liu, Caio Silva, Lucio M. Milanese +3
We derive, and validate numerically, an analytical model for electron-only magnetic reconnection applicable to strongly magnetized plasmas. Our model predicts sub-ion-scale reconne…
A Two-dimensional Numerical Study of Ion-Acoustic Turbulence
Zhuo Liu, Ryan White, Lucio M. Milanese +1
We investigate the linear and nonlinear evolution of the ion-acoustic instability in a collisionless plasma via two-dimensional (2D2V) Vlasov-Poisson numerical simulations. We init…
Dynamic Phase Alignment in Inertial Alfven Turbulence
Lucio M. Milanese, Nuno F. Loureiro, Maximilian Daschner +1
In weakly-collisional plasma environments with sufficiently low electron beta, Alfvénic turbulence transforms into inertial Alfvénic turbulence at scales below the electron skin-de…
Inference of Experimental Radial Impurity Transport on Alcator C-Mod: Bayesian Parameter Estimation and Model Selection
F. Sciortino, N. T. Howard, E. S. Marmar +11
We present a fully Bayesian approach for the inference of radial profiles of impurity transport coefficients and compare its results to neoclassical, gyrofluid and gyrokinetic mode…
Neutron diagnostics for the physics of a high-field, compact, tokamak
R. A. Tinguely, A. Rosenthal, R. Simpson +18
Advancements in high temperature superconducting technology have opened a path toward high-field, compact fusion devices. This new parameter space introduces both opportunities and…
