Drift-kinetic PIC simulations of plasma flow and energy transport in the magnetic mirror configuration
M. Tyushev, A. Smolyakov, A. Sabo +3
Plasma flow and acceleration in a magnetic mirror configuration are studied using a drift-kinetic particles-in-cell model in the paraxial approximation, with an emphasis on finite…
