With the advent of multi-petawatt laser systems like the ELI-Beamlines (Czech Republic), APOLLON (France) and SEL (China) the laser-driven ion accelerators will enter the acceleration regimes dominated by radiation pressure… [more]
The lunar surface is charged under the action of solar radiation, solar-wind plasma, and the Earth’s magnetotail plasma. As a result of the interaction with solar radiation… [more]
Edge localised modes (ELMs) are instabilities occurring in H-mode tokamak plasmas, resulting in filamentary structures that erupt violently from the plasma edge… [more]
It is now 15 years since the rediscovery of a material holding great promise for various applications, including wearable electronics, energy storage, composite materials and many more… [more]
Researchers at Berkeley Lab’s BELLA Center set a new world record in plasma-based laser-driven electron acceleration producing beams with an energy of up to 8 GeV in a 20 cm-long laser-heated discharge capillary… [more]
When ultraintense (I > 1018-19 W.cm-2) and ultrashort laser pulses interfere in the middle of a tenuous plasma, the electrons are gaining energy in the two waves by a chaotic mechanism, commonly known as stochastic heating… [more]
The complete understanding of the complex and fully non-linear plasma turbulence phenomena is still one of the missing milestones for the success of fusion experiments… [more]
This video will present the recently built fast divertor probe at TCV from the construction phase to the experimental plasma discharges… [more]
IDE, an Equilibrium reconstruction code, is now able to model sawtooth-induced q-profile evolution of ASDEX Upgrade Equilibria. A very hypnotizing evolution… [more]
This video illustrates all key aspects of Thomson scattering diagnostics in the Globus-M2 tokamak. Firstly, the machine is introduced, secondly, core pieces of diagnostics are covered… [more]
2D PIC simulation of high-intensity laser pulse and double-layer deuterium-hydrogen target with modulated interface. The laser pulse… [more]
Relativistic particle beams can be used to generate high-amplitude plasma waves in a concept known as plasma wakefield acceleration… [more]
A plasma–dust system in the near-surface layer on the illuminated side of the Moon is shown. The system involves photoelectrons, solar-wind electrons and ions, neutrals, and charged dust grains… [more]
Edge localised modes (ELMs) are instabilities occurring in H-mode tokamak plasmas, resulting in filamentary structures that erupt violently from the plasma edge, degrading confinement and transporting heat and particles to the divertor… [more]
