Kinetic effects in plasma flow due to a finite ion temperature and ion reflections in a converging–diverging magnetic nozzle are investigated
with collisionless quasineutral hybrid simulations with kinetic ions and isothermal Boltzmann electrons.

The process of associating spectral peaks in emission radiation data with particular charge states of specific elements is a common task in
the field of plasma diagnostics in both laboratory and astrophysical settings.

In C-2W (also called “Norman”), beam-driven field reversed configuration plasmas embedded in a magnetic mirror are produced and
sustained in a steady state.

Fast ion tail was observed at more than the injection beam energy of 15 keV. In particular, the effective tail temperature of fast deuterium ion was notably high
