Similarly, magnetically confining a “mildly unstable” plasma is fairly easy, but “totally out of control” plasmas are more of a challenge. A good analogy among plasma-physics insiders is that ...

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 ...

The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory is the U.S. national laboratory with the mission to develop the scientific foundation for the creation of fusion energy, the power source of the sun and the ...

2001-12-01 04:00:00 PDT Los Angeles-- John M. Dawson, a leading authority on plasma physics, died Nov. 17 at his home. He was 71. The cause of death has not been determined, said Warren Mori, a ...

Lattice-gauge model is used to simulate laser-plasma interactions. An intense short-pulse laser impinges on a dense plasma slab and accelerates electrons in the plasma. In the relativistic regime, ...

His research focuses on space physics, plasma physics, turbulence theory and computational physics. He is an associate director of the Delaware Space Grant Consortium, coordinating student ...
