Massive, Long-Lived Electrostatic Potentials in a Rotating Mirror Plasma
E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs, J. -M. Rax +1
Hot plasma is highly conductive in the direction parallel to a magnetic field. This often means that the electrical potential will be nearly constant along any given field line. Wh…
Rotating Alfvén waves in rotating plasmas
J. -M. Rax, R. Gueroult, N. J. Fisch
Angular momentum coupling between a rotating magnetized plasma and torsional Alfvén waves carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) is examined. It is not only demonstrated that rota…
Guiding center motion for particles in a ponderomotive magnetostatic end plug
T. Rubin, J. M. Rax, N. J. Fisch
The Hamiltonian dynamics of a single particle in a rotating plasma column, interacting with an magnetic multipole is perturbatively solved for up to second order, using the method…
Quasilinear theory of Brillouin resonances in rotating magnetized plasmas
J. -M. Rax, R. Gueroult, N. J. Fisch
Both spin and orbital angular momentum can be exchanged between a rotating wave and a rotating magnetized plasma. Through resonances the spin and orbital angular momentum of the wa…
Magnetostatic Ponderomotive Potential in Rotating Plasma
T. Rubin, J. M. Rax, N. J. Fisch
A new end-plugging method for rotating plasmas is identified and analyzed. It uses the ponderomotive potential associated with an azimuthal magnetostatic wiggler. Studied both anal…
DC electric field generation and distribution in magnetized plasmas
Jean-Marcel Rax, Renaud Gueroult, Nathaniel J. Fisch
Very large DC and AC electric fields cannot be sustained between conducting electrodes because of volume gas breakdown and/or surface field emission. However, very large potential…
