Electron injection and acceleration into laser-driven wakefield from a solid overdense plasma target
M. Caetano de Sousa, S. Marini, M. Grech +3
A laser-plasma acceleration scheme combining electron extraction from a solid overdense target with wakefield acceleration in an adjacent underdense plasma region is presented. A l…
Particle-In-Cell Informed Kinetic Modeling of Nonlinear Skin Effects in Low-Frequency Inductively Coupled Plasmas
Haomin Sun, Jian Chen, Alexander Khrabrov +4
We perform extensive 2D Particle-In-Cell (PIC) electromagnetic simulations of low pressure Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) discharges with various coil current and driving frequen…
Global electromagnetic gyrokinetic simulations of internal transport barriers in reversed-shear tokamaks
Giovanni Di Giannatale, Arnas VolÄokas, Justin Ball +6
This work aims at improving our understanding of the conditions enabling the development of an Internal transport barriers (ITB), using a more comprehensive physical model, includi…
Particle-in-cell methods in edge plasma physics: the PICLS code
Alberto Bottino, Annika Stier, Mathias Boesl +6
Over the past decades, multiple gyrokinetic codes have shown to be able to simulate turbulence and associated transport in the core of Tokamak devices. However, their application t…
Gyrokinetic flux-driven simulations in mixed TEM/ITG regime using a delta-f PIC scheme with evolving background
Moahan Murugappan, Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner +3
In the context of global gyrokinetic simulations of turbulence using a Particle-In-Cell framework, verifying the delta-f assumption with a fixed background distribution becomes cha…
