Drift-cyclotron loss-cone instability in 3D simulations of a sloshing-ion simple mirror
Aaron Tran, Samuel J. Frank, Ari Y. Le +11
The kinetic stability of collisionless, sloshing beam-ion (45° pitch angle) plasma is studied in a 3D simple magnetic mirror, mimicking the Wisconsin High-temperature superconducto…
Confinement performance predictions for a high field axisymmetric tandem mirror
S. J. Frank, J. Viola, Yu. V. Petrov +14
This paper presents Hammir tandem mirror confinement performance analysis based on Realta Fusion's first-of-a-kind model for axisymmetric magnetic mirror fusion performance. This m…
Characterization of fast magnetosonic waves driven by compact toroid plasma injection along a magnetic field
F. Chu, S. J. Langendorf, J. Olson +5
Magnetosonic waves are low-frequency, linearly polarized magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves commonly found in space, responsible for many well-known features, such as heating of the s…
Numerical modeling of laser-driven experiments aiming to demonstrate magnetic field amplification via turbulent dynamo
P. Tzeferacos, A. Rigby, A. Bott +29
The universe is permeated by magnetic fields, with strengths ranging from a femtogauss in the voids between the filaments of galaxy clusters to several teragauss in black holes and…
The Madison plasma dynamo experiment: a facility for studying laboratory plasma astrophysics
C. M. Cooper, J. Wallace, M. Brookhart +13
The Madison plasma dynamo experiment (MPDX) is a novel, versatile, basic plasma research device designed to investigate flow driven magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities and othe…
