Large gyro-orbit model of ion velocity distribution in plasma near a wall in a grazing-angle magnetic field
Alessandro Geraldini
A model is presented for the ion distribution function in a plasma at a solid target with a magnetic field inclined at a small angle, (in radians), to the targe…

Dependence on ion temperature of shallow-angle magnetic presheaths with adiabatic electrons
Alessandro Geraldini, Felix I Parra, Fulvio Militello
The magnetic presheath is a boundary layer occurring when magnetized plasma is in contact with a wall and the angle between the wall and the magnetic field is oblique…

Kinetic treatment of magnetized and collisionless plasma near a wall
Alessandro Geraldini
Charged particles gyrate around magnetic field lines, a property that is exploited to confine plasma in magnetic confinement fusion devices. Typically, the gyroradius is small comp…
