Self-similar solutions for resistive diffusion, Ohmic heating and Ettingshausen effects in plasmas of arbitrary
G. Farrow, G. Kagan, J. P. Chittenden
MIF approaches, such as the MagLIF experiment, use magnetic fields in dense plasma to suppress cross-field thermal conduction, attempting to reduce heat losses and trap alpha parti…
Review of the First Charged-Particle Transport Coefficient Comparison Workshop
P. E. Grabowski, S. B. Hansen, M. S. Murillo +42
We present the results of the first Charged-Particle Transport Coefficient Code Comparison Workshop, which was held in Albuquerque, NM October 4-6, 2016. In this first workshop, sc…
Inference of the electron temperature in ICF implosions from the hard X-ray spectral continuum
Grigory Kagan, O. L. Landen, D. Svyatskiy +15
Using the free-free continuum self-emission spectrum at photon energies above 15 keV is one of the most promising concepts for assessing the electron temperature in ICF experiments…
Comparison of transport coefficients for weakly coupled multi-component plasmas obtained with different formalisms
Grigory Kagan
LANL Memorandum of potentially broad interest. A direct comparison is performed between transport coefficients for weakly coupled plasmas obtained with different formalisms to demo…
Transport formulas for multi-component plasmas within the effective potential theory framework
Grigory Kagan, Scott D. Baalrud
The recently proposed effective potential theory [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 235001 (2013)] allows evaluating transport in coupled plasmas with the well-developed formalisms for systems…
Influence of coupling on thermal forces and dynamic friction in plasmas with multiple ion species
Grigory Kagan, Scott D. Baalrud, Jerome Daligault
The recently proposed effective potential theory [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 235001 (2013)] is used to investigate the influence of coupling on inter-ion-species diffusion and momentum…
