Particle-in-cell studies of fast-ion slowing-down rates in cool tenuous magnetized plasma

E. S. Evans, S. A. Cohen, D. R. Welch

We report on 3D-3V particle-in-cell simulations of fast-ion energy-loss rates in cold, weakly-magnetized, weakly-coupled plasma where the electron gyroradius, ${\rho }_e$, is comparabl…
