Drive and damping govern resonant electron energy redistribution in a kinetic model informed by helium discharges
Zhao-Ju Bo, Lei Chang, Shi-Jie Zhang +8
Energetic electrons exchange energy with electrostatic waves in low-temperature plasmas, but wave amplitude alone does not determine the direction or cumulative effect of that exch…

Fully nonlinear phenomenology of the bump-on-tail (BOT) instability with drag, diffusion and Krook relaxation
Shi-Jie Zhang, Lei Chang, Zhao-Ju Bo +8
Energetic-particle-driven modes in magnetically confined fusion plasmas often exhibit nonlinear frequency sweeping, reflecting complex wave-particle interactions near marginal stab…
