Gyrokinetic equilibria of high temperature superconducting magnetic mirrors
Maxwell H. Rosen, Manaure Francisquez, James Juno +2
High-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets and other advances have led to renewed interest in magnetic mirrors for fusion energy. The non-Maxwellian nature of mirror plasmas ne…

An explicit multiscale pseudo orbit-averaging time integration algorithm
Maxwell H. Rosen, Manaure Francisquez, Gregory W. Hammett
We present an explicit multiscale algorithm for solving differential equations for problems with high-frequency modes that can be averaged over by separating and scaling the fast a…

Enhanced Collisional Losses from a Magnetic Mirror Using the Lenard-Bernstein Collision Operator
Maxwell H. Rosen, Wrick Sengupta, Ian Ochs +2
Collisions are crucial in governing particle and energy transport in plasmas confined in a magnetic mirror trap. Modern gyrokinetic codes model transport in magnetic mirrors, but s…
