A Gyrokinetic Moment Model of the Plasma Boundary in Fusion Devices

The overall performance of fusion devices, such as tokamaks, is strongly correlated to the phenomena that occur in the boundary region, the outer plasma region that faces the wall of the device. The boundary plays a crucial role in regulating the heat and ...

The competing effects of wave amplitude and collisions on multi-ion species suppression of stimulated Brillouin scattering in inertial confinement fusion Hohlraums

Stephan Brunner

Reduction in stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) from National Ignition Facility Hohlraums has been predicted through the use of multi-ion species materials on Hohlraum walls. This approach to controlling SBS is based upon introducing a lighter ion speci ...

Landing Proteins on Graphene Trampoline Preserves Their Gas-Phase Folding on the Surface

Klaus Kern, Stephan Rauschenbach, Sven Alexander Szilagyi, Hannah Julia Ochner

Molecule-surface collisions are known to initiate dynamics that lead to products inaccessible by thermal chemistry. These collision dynamics, however, have mostly been examined on bulk surfaces, leaving vast opportunities unexplored for molecular collision ...

Are socially-aware trajectory prediction models really socially-aware?

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Seyed Mohsen Moosavi Dezfooli, Saeed Saadatnejad, Mohammadhossein Bahari, Pedram Khorsandi

Our transportation field has recently witnessed an arms race of neural network-based trajectory predictors. While these predictors are at the core of many applications such as autonomous navigation or pedestrian flow simulations, their adversarial robustne ...

Turbulent transport regimes in the tokamak boundary and operational limits

Paolo Ricci, Maurizio Giacomin

Two-fluid, three-dimensional, flux-driven, global, electromagnetic turbulence simulations carried out by using the GBS (Global Braginskii Solver) code are used to identify the main parameters controlling turbulent transport in the tokamak boundary and to d ...

Low-energy stereodynamics of ion-forming reactions

Junwen Zou

In this thesis, an experimental study of low-temperature stereodynamics in the reactive scattering of Ne(3P2) + X collisions (X = Ar, Kr, Xe, CO and N2) is presented. The steric effect of Ne(3P2) in these reactions is observed experimentally using a contro ...

Effect of collisions on non-adiabatic electron dynamics in ITG-driven microturbulence

Stephan Brunner, Justin Richard Ball

Non-adiabatic electron response leads to significant changes in ion temperature gradient (ITG) eigenmodes, leading, in particular, to fine-structures that are significantly extended along the magnetic field lines at corresponding mode rational surfaces (MR ...

Hunting for tetraquarks in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions

Angelo Esposito, Claudio Andrea Manzari

Ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions constitute an ideal setup to look for exotic hadrons because of their low event multiplicity and the possibility of an efficient background rejection. We propose to look for fourquark states produced by photon-photon fu ...

Charge transfer dynamics in Ar+ + CO

Eduardo Carrascosa Casado

Differential cross sections for the charge transfer reaction between Ar(+)and CO have been measured using three-dimensional velocity map imaging in a crossed beam setup at the two relative collision energies 0.55 and 0.74 eV. We find dominant forward scatt ...

Investigation of the low-energy stereodynamics in the Ne(3P2) + N2, CO reactions

Andreas Osterwalder, Junwen Zou

We report on an experimental investigation of the low-energy stereodynamics of the energy transfer reactions Ne(3P2) + X, producing Ne(1S) + X+ and [Ne–X]+ (X = N2 or CO). Collision energies in the range 0.2 K–700 K are obtained by using the merged beam te ...
