Collisional whistler instability and electron temperature staircase in inhomogeneous plasma
N. A. Lopez, A. F. A. Bott, A. A. Schekochihin
High-beta magnetized plasmas often exhibit anomalously structured temperature profiles, as seen from galaxy cluster observations and recent experiments. It is well known that when…

Regarding the extension of metaplectic geometrical optics to modelling evanescent waves in ray-tracing codes
N. A. Lopez, R. Højlund, M. G. Senstius
Metaplectic geometrical optics (MGO) is a recently developed ray-tracing framework to accurately compute the wavefield behavior near a caustic (turning point or focal point), where…
