Adiabatic confinement and escape in an open billiard
Matheus Rolim Sales, Leonardo Costa de Souza, Ricardo Luiz Viana +2
We introduce a stationary, field-free billiard that reproduces the adiabatic confinement mechanism of a magnetic mirror through boundary geometry alone. Rapid transverse reflection…
pynamicalsys: A Python toolkit for the analysis of dynamical systems
Matheus Rolim Sales, Leonardo Costa de Souza, Daniel Borin +6
Since Lorenz's seminal work on a simplified weather model, the numerical analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems has become one of the main subjects of research in physics. Despite…
Identifying ballistic modes via Poincaré sections
André Farinha Bósio, Iberê Luiz Caldas, Ricardo Luiz Viana +1
Exploring chaotic systems via Poincaré sections has proven essential in dynamical systems, yet measuring their characteristics poses challenges to identify the various dynamical re…
