HHFW in FRC configurations requires a hot-plasma approach that can be investigated through the RFP.
First results show that energy deposition is expected to depend
strongly on parallel refractive index.

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.
