Energizing charged particles by an orbit instability in a slowly rotating magnetic field
E. Palmerduca, H. Qin, S. A. Cohen
The stability of charged particle motion in a uniform magnetic field with an added spatially uniform transverse rotating magnetic field (RMF) is studied analytically. It is found t…

Electron heating in 2-D: combining Fermi-Ulam acceleration and magnetic-moment non-adiabaticity in a mirror-configuration plasma
C. P. S. Swanson, S. A. Cohen, C. A. Galea
We analyze a new mechanism for the creation and confinement of energetic electrons in a mirror-configuration plasma. A Fermi-Ulam-type process, driven by end-localized coherent ele…

The effect of rigid electron rotation on the Grad-Shafranov equilibria of a class of FRC devices
C. P. S. Swanson, S. A. Cohen
Rigid electron rotation of a fully penetrated Rotamak-FRC produces a pressure flux function that is more peaked than the Solov'ev flux function. This paper explores the implication…
