Energetic beams excite semi-repetitive modes (‘staircase mode’) in the field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasma.
September 2020 | X. Yang | AIP Conference Proceedings | Paper
Simulation survey performed at TAE Technologies, has demonstrated that HHFW heating is a promising scenario to heat core electrons of FRC plasma.

A quasi-neutral blended drift-Lorentz particle model of the field-reversed configuration (FRC) has been developed and implemented in the particle-in-cell code named ANC.
Prior to Coronavirus, human impact on the environment was largely studied in models and projections, making the cause and effect seem abstract to some. Now, we have all been partaking in an unprecedented living laboratory experiment, where the drastic reduction of planes, cars, and factory activity has led to results that are starkly visible in our everyday lives.
