Helicon and lower hybrid current drive comparisons in tokamak geometry
(Cambridge University Press, 2023-03)The parallel current driven by applied helicon waves is evaluated in tokamak geometry along with the radio frequency (rf) power absorbed by the passing electrons. The results are compared to the corresponding expressions ... -
Scattering of radio frequency waves by randomly modulated density interfaces in the edge of fusion plasmas
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-05)In the scrape-off layer and the edge region of a tokamak, the plasma is strongly turbulent and scatters the radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic waves that propagate through this region. It is important to know, whether ... -
Multisatellite MMS Analysis of Electron Holes in the Earth's Magnetotail: Origin, Properties, Velocity Gap, and Transverse Instability
(AGU and Wiley, 2020-08)We present a statistical analysis of more than 2400 bipolar electrostatic solitary waves measured aboard at least three MMS spacecraft in the Earth's magnetotail. These bipolar solitary waves are interpreted in terms of ...
