Plasma Theory and Simulation.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA071758 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Our research group uses both theory and simulation as tools in order to increase the understanding of instabilities, heating, transport, and other phenomena in plasmas. We also work on the improvement of simulation, both theoretically and practically.
