Probing kinetic enhancement of fusion reactivity in turbulent hot spots
Yao Guo, Dong Wu, Jie Zhang
Traditionally, fusion reactivity in thermonuclear plasmas has been calculated by assuming a local Maxwellian ion distribution. However, recent theoretical work [Phys. Rev. Lett. 13…

Effect of flow-aligned external magnetic fields on mushroom instability
Y. Guo, D. Wu, J. Zhang
Mushroom instability (MI) is a shear instability considered responsible for generating and amplifying magnetic fields in relativistic jets. While astrophysical jets are usually mag…

Electron-scale Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in magnetized shear flows
Yao Guo, Dong Wu, Jie Zhang
Electron-scale Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities (ESKHI) are found in several astrophysical scenarios. Naturally ESKHI is subject to a background magnetic field, but an analytical dis…
