1. Momentum-space dynamics of runaway electrons in plasmas
Sammanfattning : Fast electrons in a plasma experience a friction force that decreases with increasing particle speed, and may therefore be continuously accelerated by sufficiently strong electric fields. These so-called runaway electrons may quickly reach relativistic speeds. LÄS MER
2. Strong L1 convergence to equilibrium without entropy conditions for the spatially homogenous Boltzmann equation
Sammanfattning : This paper deals with solutions to the Cauchy problem for the spatially homogeneous non-linear Boltzmann equation. The main result is that for the hard sphere kernel, a solution to the Boltzmann equation converges strongly in L1 to equilibrium given that the initial data f0 belongs to L1(R^3;(1+v^2)dv). LÄS MER
3. Quantum Kinetic Theory for Plasmas : spin, exchange, and particle dispersive effects
Sammanfattning : This thesis is about developing and studying quantum mechanical models of plasmas. Quantum effects can be important at high densities, at low temperatures, and in strong electromagnetic fields, in various laboratory and astrophysical systems. LÄS MER
4. Fast Particle Driven Instabilities in Tokamak Plasmas
Sammanfattning : The burning plasmas of the next generation tokamak fusion experiment ITERwill contain signicant populations of highly energetic ions. Both fusion gener-ated alpha particles and fast ions accelerated by auxiliary heating schemes arecapable of exciting instabilities in the Alfven frequency range, which may inturn cause redistribution of energetic particles and lead to deleterious eventssuch as e.
