Ponderomotive barriers in rotating mirror devices using static fields
Tal Rubin, Nathaniel J. Fisch
Particularly for aneutronic fusion schemes, it is advantageous to manipulate the fuel species differently from one another, as well as expel ash promptly. The ponderomotive effect…
Flowing plasma rearrangement in the presence of static perturbing fields
T. Rubin, I. E. Ochs, N. J. Fisch
Charged particles interacting with electromagnetic waves have a portion of their energy tied up in wave-driven oscillations. When these waves are localized to the exhaust of linear…
Guiding center motion for particles in a ponderomotive magnetostatic end plug
T. Rubin, J. M. Rax, N. J. Fisch
The Hamiltonian dynamics of a single particle in a rotating plasma column, interacting with an magnetic multipole is perturbatively solved for up to second order, using the method…
Magnetostatic Ponderomotive Potential in Rotating Plasma
T. Rubin, J. M. Rax, N. J. Fisch
A new end-plugging method for rotating plasmas is identified and analyzed. It uses the ponderomotive potential associated with an azimuthal magnetostatic wiggler. Studied both anal…
Fueling limits in a cylindrical viscosity-limited reactor
Tal Rubin, Elijah J. Kolmes, Ian E. Ochs +2
Recently, a method to achieve a "natural hot-ion mode" was suggested, by utilizing ion viscous heating in a rotating plasma with a fixed boundary. We explore the steady-state solut…
Partial-Ionization Deconfinement Effect in Magnetized Plasma
M. E. Mlodik, E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs +2
In partially ionized plasma, where ions can be in different ionization states, each charge state can be described as a different fluid for the purpose of multi-ion collisional tran…
