Effects of parallel magnetic fields on sheaths near biased electrodes in a highly collisional Z-pinch plasma
C. R. Skolar, B. Srinivasan
Sheath formation near biased electrodes in magnetic fields parallel to the wall is an understudied topic, especially within the context of Z-pinch fusion experiments. We perform 1X…

General kinetic ion induced electron emission model for metallic walls applied to biased Z-pinch electrodes
Chirag R. Skolar, Kolter Bradshaw, Manaure Francisquez +3
A kinetic ion induced electron emission (IIEE) model for general applications is developed to obtain the emitted electron energy spectrum for a distribution of ion impacts on a met…

Computing the generalized plasma dispersion function for non-Maxwellian plasmas, with applications to Thomson scattering
Chirag R. Skolar, William J. Longley, Lindsay V. Goodwin
Kinetic plasma studies often require computing integrals of the velocity distribution over a complex-valued pole. The standard method is to solve the integral in the complex plane…
