Measurement of zero-frequency fluctuations generated by coupling between Alfven modes in the JET tokamak
Juan Ruiz Ruiz, Jeronimo Garcia, Michael Barnes +13
We report the first experimental detection of a zero-frequency fluctuation that is pumped by an Alfvèn mode in a magnetically confined plasma. Core-localized bidirectional Alfvèn m…
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…
Suppression of temperature-gradient-driven turbulence by sheared flows in fusion plasmas
P. G. Ivanov, T. Adkins, D. Kennedy +3
Starting from the assumption that saturation of plasma turbulence driven by temperature-gradient instabilities in fusion plasmas is achieved by a local energy cascade between a lon…
Laboratory realization of relativistic pair-plasma beams
C. D. Arrowsmith, P. Simon, P. Bilbao +26
Relativistic electron-positron plasmas are ubiquitous in extreme astrophysical environments such as black holes and neutron star magnetospheres, where accretion-powered jets and pu…
Kinetic stability of Chapman-Enskog plasmas
Archie F. A. Bott, Steven C. Cowley, Alexander A. Schekochihin
In this paper, we investigate the kinetic stability of classical, collisional plasma - that is, plasma in which the mean-free-path of constituent particles is short compared to…
Phase-space entropy cascade and irreversibility of stochastic heating in nearly collisionless plasma turbulence
Michael L. Nastac, Robert J. Ewart, Wrick Sengupta +3
We consider a nearly collisionless plasma consisting of a species of `test particles' in 1D-1V, stirred by an externally imposed stochastic electric field. The mean effect on the p…
