Energetic particle physics with applications in fusion and space plasmas [PDF]
Energetic particle physics is the study of the effects of energetic particles on collective electromagnetic (EM) instabilities and energetic particle transport in plasmas. Anomalously large energetic particle transport is often caused by low frequency MHD instabilities, which are driven by these energetic particles in the presence of a much denser ...

Towards a portable and future-proof particle-in-cell plasma physics code [PDF]
We present the first reported OpenCL implementation of EPOCH3D, an extensible particle-in-cell plasma physics code developed at the University of Warwick. We document the challenges and successes of this porting effort, and compare the performance of our implementation executing on a wide variety of hardware from multiple vendors. The focus of our work

Magnetic reconnection in the Jovian tail : X-line evolution and consequent plasma sheet structures [PDF]
Magnetic reconnection in planetary magnetospheres plays important roles in energy and mass transfer in the steady state, and also possibly in transient large-scale disturbances.

From Charged Particles to Plasma Physics [PDF]
AbstractIn this chapter we move from single particle motion to the statistical description of a large number of charged particles, the plasma. This discussion provides the basis for the rich flora of plasma waves that are essential for understanding the sources and losses of radiation belt particles through wave–particle interactions.

Pepper-pot emittance measurement of laser-plasma wakefield accelerated electrons [PDF]
The transverse emittance is an important parameter governing the brightness of an electron beam. Here we present the first pepper-pot measurement of the transverse emittance for a mono-energetic electron beam from a laser-plasma wakefield accelerator ...

Physics of drift Alfvén instabilities and energetic particles in fusion plasmas
Abstract Shear Alfvén wave (SAW)/drift Alfvén wave (DAW) fluctuations can be destabilized by energetic particles (EPs) as well as thermal plasma components, which play a key role in the EP energy and momentum transport processes in burning fusion plasmas.

Design considerations for the use of laser-plasma accelerators for advanced space radiation studies [PDF]
We present design considerations for the use of laser-plasma accelerators for mimicking space radiation and testing space-grade electronics. This novel application takes advantage of the inherent ability of laser-plasma accelerators to produce particle ...
