Azimuthal magnetic fields in saturn's magnetosphere: Effects associated with plasma sub-corotation and the magnetopause-tail current system [PDF]
We calculate the azimuthal magnetic fields expected to be present in Saturn’s magnetosphere associated with two physical effects, and compare them with the fields observed during the flybys of the two Voyager spacecraft.

Control of unsteady laser-produced plasma-flow with a multiple-coil magnetic nozzle
We report an experimental demonstration of controlling plasma flow direction with a magnetic nozzle consisting of multiple coils. Four coils are controlled separately to form an asymmetric magnetic field to change the direction of laser-produced plasma ...

Tracing solar wind plasma entry into the magnetosphere using ion-to-electron temperature ratio [PDF]
When the solar wind Mach number is low, typically such as in magnetic clouds, the physics of the bow shock leads to a downstream ion-to-electron temperature ratio that can be notably lower than usual.

Real time control of the plasma current and elongation in tokamaks using ECRH actuators [PDF]
Real time control of the plasma elongation and plasma current using electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) actuators has been demonstrated on TCV. Tokamak plasmas may be elongated by off-axis ECRH.

A machine-learning-based tool for last closed-flux surface reconstruction on tokamaks
Tokamaks allow to confine fusion plasma with magnetic fields. The prediction/reconstruction of the last closed-flux surface (LCFS) is one of the primary challenges in the control of the magnetic configuration.

Magnetic control of DTT alternative plasma configurations
One of the main challenges concerning next generation tokamaks (such as DEMO) will be the development of a heat and power exhaust system able to withstand the large loads expected in the divertor region. A dedicated Divertor Tokamak Test (DTT) facility has been proposed in the EUROfusion Roadmap, with the aim of testing unconventional solutions, such ...

Electric potential in partially magnetized E × B discharges
Ability to control the electric potential inside the plasma is promising for various applications of E × B plasma because the trajectory of particles, which meets the desired purpose, is mainly determined by the drift motions in the external electric and

Modelling for JET Vertical Stabilization System [PDF]
Nuclear fusion is, in a sense, the opposite of nuclear fission. Fission, which is a mature technology, produces energy through the splitting of heavy atoms like uranium in controlled chain reactions.
