The Diocotron Instability in the Trapped Electrons Experiment T-REX and its Relevance to Electron Clouds in Gyrotron Guns
Francesco Romano, Pierrick Giroud-Garampon, Joaquim Loizu +2
Gyrotrons are essential for electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) in fusion reactors, making their efficient operation crucial for fusion energy. Past experiments revealed in…

The hot-electron closure of the moment-based gyrokinetic plasma model
A. C. D. Hoffmann, P. Giroud-Garampon, P. Ricci
We derive the hot-electron-limit (HEL) closure for the moment hierarchy used to solve the gyrokinetic equations, known as the gyromoment (GM) approach. By expanding the gyroaveragi…
