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 full-wave code RF_Pisa has been extended to model the so-called Helicon regime. These waves are whistler-type waves with a two-branch dispersion relation.

The C-2W experiment is a FRC with the addition of external actuators including NB injection, EB, and magnetic expander divertors to provide SOL pumping

Effects of finite ion temperature on the plasma flow in the converging–diverging magnetic field, the magnetic mirror, or equivalently,
magnetic nozzle configuration are studied using a quasineutral paraxial two-fluid MHD model with isothermal electrons and warm magnetized ions.
