Abstract:

This final technical report describes the research results of theoretical and computational analyses of wave particle interaction in plasma turbulence. 1 We developed the extended resonance broadening theory of plasma turbulence in which anomalous particle diffusion in strong plasma turbulence was revealed. 2 As a new approach to plasma turbulence theory, wave particle interaction was studied in a framework of quantum electrodynamics which allows the inclusion of self fields created by energetic plasma electrons. 3 A MAGIC simulation code was used to study plasma turbulence and its interaction with photons. 4 A MAGIC code was also used to study plasma interaction with microwaves in a Vircator high power microwave device. 5 Collective effects in plasmas were studied in the presence of dusts in a plasma.
