Plasma physics is the study of charged particles and fluids interacting with self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. It is a basic research discipline that has many different areas of ...

at levels unacceptable in future burning plasma devices. Energetic (suprathermal) particles constitute an essential source of momentum and energy, especially in future burning plasmas. They must ...

Conventional accelerator cavities — such as those at the LHC, which use electromagnetic fields to propel particles — are prone to sparking at high field strengths. But plasma-filled modules ...
