Drift-cyclotron loss-cone instability in 3D simulations of a sloshing-ion simple mirror

Aaron Tran, Samuel J. Frank, Ari Y. Le +11

The kinetic stability of collisionless, sloshing beam-ion (45° pitch angle) plasma is studied in a 3D simple magnetic mirror, mimicking the Wisconsin High-temperature superconducto…
