A Multi-Species Reactive-Boltzmann Formulation for Self-Consistent Kinetic Simulation of Burning Fusion Plasmas
Mark Dunn, Jingwei Hu, Uri Shumlak
Discrepancies between experimental data and radiation-hydrodynamic models of burning plasmas at the National Ignition Facility have been attributed, in part, to possible deviations…

Control of kinetic plasma instabilities by laser fields
Nicolas Crouseilles, Lukas Einkemmer, Qin Li +2
We study the possibility of controlling kinetic plasma instabilities by using lasers to apply external electromagnetic fields. We derive the dispersion relation for the correspondi…

Effects of transitional orbit magnetization on transport and current in Z pinches
D. W. Crews, E. T. Meier, U. Shumlak
The azimuthal self-magnetic field of the ideal Z pinch contains a central magnetic null. Trajectories around this null govern transport in the core. Particles follow cyclotron orbi…
