An interface current balance formulation of neutral atom transport theory in plasmas

Collisional transport in non-neutral plasmas*

Several recent experiments have measured collisional transport in non-neutral plasmas ~heat conduction, test particle diffusion, and viscosity! that is from 10 to 10 times larger than predicted by classical theory. New guiding center theories of collisional transport have been developed that agree with the measurements. The experiments operate in the guiding center regime rc!lD , where rc is th...

Efficient acceleration of neutral atoms in laser produced plasmas

Recent advances in high-intensity laser-produced plasmas have demonstrated their potential as compact charge particle accelerators. Unlike conventional accelerators, transient quasi-static charge separation acceleration fields in laser produced plasmas are highly localized and orders of magnitude larger. Manipulating these ion accelerators, to covert the fast ions to neutral atoms with little c...

Spontaneous rotation and momentum transport in tokamak plasmas

Recently there has been widespread attention paid to rotation and momentum transport in tokamak plasmas. Of particular interest is spontaneous (intrinsic) toroidal rotation in plasmas without external momentum input. The strong co-current spontaneous rotation in enhanced confinement regimes, with ion thermal Mach numbers up to 0.3, may allow for resistive wall mode suppression in high-pressure ...

Modelface: an application programming interface (API) for homology modeling studies using Modeller software

An interactive application, Modelface, was presented for Modeller software based on windows platform. The application is able to run all steps of homology modeling including pdb to fasta generation, running clustal, model building and loop refinement. Other modules of modeler including energy calculation, energy minimization and the ability to make single point mutations in the PDB structures a...
