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…
Acceleration of Ultrahigh Energy Particles from Fast Radio Bursts
Lin Yu, Tianxing Hu, Zhiyu Lei +6
Two extreme events in the universe, fast radio bursts (FRBs) and cosmic rays (CRs), could be correlated, where FRBs with extreme field strength near their sources may contribute to…
Energization of Proton via Beam-Driven Ion Bernstein Waves in p11B Plasmas
Yangchun Liu, Hairong Huang, Dong Wu +6
Energizing background ions plays a pivotal role in all forms of thermal nuclear fusion, as it can increase the fusion reaction rate without affecting the overall mechanical equilib…
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…
From Filamentation to Stratification: Instability Dynamics in Scissors-Shaped Relativistic Beam-Plasma System
Xu Liu, Dong Wu, Jie Zhang
Counter-streaming systems are a canonical model for beam-plasma instabilities, such as the filamentation instability, which is critical in high energy density physics. However, sce…
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…
