Electron and Ion Heating during Magnetic Reconnection in Weakly Collisional Plasmas
Ryusuke Numata, Nuno F. Loureiro
Gyrokinetic simulations of magnetic reconnection are presented to investigate plasma heating for strongly magnetized, weakly collisional plasmas. For a low plasma beta case, parall…
Conditions for up-down asymmetry in the core of tokamak equilibria
Paulo Rodrigues, Nuno F. Loureiro, Justin Ball +1
A local magnetic equilibrium solution is sought around the magnetic axis in order to identify the key parameters defining the magnetic-surface's up-down asymmetry in the core of to…
Magnetic field generation and amplification in an expanding plasma
K. M. Schoeffler, N. F. Loureiro, R. A. Fonseca +1
Particle-in-cell simulations are used to investigate the formation of magnetic fields, B, in plasmas with perpendicular electron density and temperature gradients. For system sizes…
Fast collisionless reconnection and electron heating in strongly magnetized plasmas
N. F. Loureiro, A. A. Schekochihin, A. Zocco
Magnetic reconnection in strongly magnetized (low-beta), weakly collisional plasmas is investigated using a novel fluid-kinetic model [Zocco & Schekochihin, Phys. Plasmas 18, 10230…
