    • Understanding LOC/SOC Phenomenology in Tokamaks 

      Rice, John E.; Citrin, J.; Cao, N.M.; Diamond, P.H.; Fable, E.; e.a. (IOP, 2020- 02)
      Phenomenology of Ohmic energy confinement saturation in tokamaks is reviewed. Characteristics of the linear Ohmic confinement (LOC) and saturated Ohmic confinement (SOC) regimes are documented and transformations in all ...

    • Design of inertial fusion implosions reaching the burning plasma regime 

      Kritcher, A.L.; Young, C.V.; Robey, H.F.; Weber, C.R.; Zylstra, A.B.; e.a. (Nature, 2021-05)
      One of the last remaining milestones in fusion research before reaching ignition is creating a burning plasma state, where alpha particles from deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion reactions redeposit their energy as the dominant ...

    • Collisional effects on resonant particles in quasilinear theory 

      Catto, Peter J. (Cambridge University Press, 2020-02)
      A careful examination of the effects of collisions on resonant wave-particle interactions leads to an alternate interpretation and deeper understanding of the quasilinear operator originally formulated by Kennel and Engelmann ...
