Exact Calculation of Nonideal Fields Demonstrates Dominance of Injection in Relativistic Reconnection

Samuel R. Totorica, Seiji Zenitani, Shuichi Matsukiyo +3

Magnetic reconnection is an important source of energetic particles in systems ranging from astrophysics to the laboratory. The large separation of spatiotemporal scales involved m…

Fast ion transport in quasisymmetric equilibria in the presence of a resonant Alfvénic perturbation

Elizabeth J. Paul, Harry E. Mynick, Amitava Bhattacharjee

Significant progress has been made in designing magnetic fields that provide excellent confinement of the guiding enter trajectories of alpha particles using quasisymmetry (QS). Gi…

Self-consistent simulation of compressional Alfvén eigenmodes excited by runaway electrons

Chang Liu, Andrey Lvovskiy, Carlos Paz-Soldan +2

Alfvénic modes in the current quench (CQ) stage of the tokamak disruption have been observed in experiments. In DIII-D the excitation of these modes is associated with the presence…

Resonant instabilities mediated by drag and electrostatic interactions in laboratory and astrophysical dusty plasmas

Ben Y. Israeli, Amitava Bhattacharjee, Hong Qin

Dusty plasmas are known to support a diverse range of instabilities, including both generalizations of standard plasma instabilities and ones caused by effects specific to dusty sy…

Structure of pressure-gradient-driven current singularity in ideal magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium

Yi-Min Huang, Yao Zhou, Joaquim Loizu +2

Singular currents typically appear on rational surfaces in non-axisymmetric ideal magnetohydrodynamic equilibria with a continuum of nested flux surfaces and a continuous rotationa…

Energetic particle loss mechanisms in reactor-scale equilibria close to quasisymmetry

E. J. Paul, A. Bhattacharjee, M. Landreman +3

Collisionless physics primarily determines the transport of fusion-born alpha particles in 3D equilibria. Several transport mechanisms have been implicated in stellarator configura…
