Small-scale dynamo with finite correlation times

Fluctuation dynamos occur in most turbulent plasmas in astrophysics and are the prime candidates for amplifying and maintaining cosmic magnetic fields. A few analytical models exist to describe their behavior, but they are based on simplifying assumptions. ...

Dynamo instabilities in plasmas with inhomogeneous chiral chemical potential

Jennifer Waltraud Schober

We study the dynamics of magnetic fields in chiral magnetohydrodynamics, which takes into account the effects of an additional electric current related to the chiral magnetic effect in high-energy plasmas. We perform direct numerical simulations, consideri ...

Relic Gravitational Waves from the Chiral Magnetic Effect

Jennifer Waltraud Schober

Relic gravitational waves (GWs) can be produced by primordial magnetic fields. However, not much is known about the resulting GW amplitudes and their dependence on the details of the generation mechanism. Here we treat magnetic field generation through the ...

Millimeter-wave beam scattering by edge-plasma density fluctuations in TCV

Stefano Alberti, Timothy Goodman, Oulfa Chellaï, Ivo Furno, Fabio Riva, Paolo Ricci, Benoît Labit, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Emanuele Poli

In magnetically confined fusion devices, the use of millimeter waves (mmw) at the electron cyclotron (EC) frequencies ranges from plasma diagnostics to plasma heating, current drive and core confinement preservation. For large tokamaks such as ITER, numeri ...

Energetics of turbulence generated by chiral MHD dynamos

Jennifer Waltraud Schober

An asymmetry in the number density of left- and right-handed fermions is known to give rise to a new term in the induction equation that can result in a dynamo instability. At high temperatures, when a chiral asymmetry can survive for long enough, this chi ...

Triple Cherenkov probe measurements on FTU: calibration and runaway energy spectra

Filippo Bagnato, Alessandro Grosso

Characterization and calibration measurements of two Cherenkov probes have been performed in ENEA Frascati's laboratories. Different kinds of radiation have been used, from visible light to x-rays, in order to evaluate possible spurious responses of the pr ...

A large planetary body inferred from diamond inclusions in a ureilite meteorite

Philippe Gillet, Cécile Hébert, Marco Cantoni, Emad Oveisi, James Badro, Farhang Nabiei, Teresa Katharina Dennenwaldt

Planetary formation models show that terrestrial planets are formed by the accretion of tens of Moon-to Mars-sized planetary embryos through energetic giant impacts. However, relics of these large proto-planets are yet to be found. Ureilites are one of the ...

Detection of Pressure or Flow Rate Variations in MR Valves through Magnetic Flux Analysis

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Daniel Grivon

Magneto-Rheological (MR) fluids consist in a suspension of ferromagnetic particles dispersed in a fluid carrier. If excited by a magnetic source, the nearby magnetic field induces the particles magnetization with the formation of chainlike structures align ...

Guiding-centre transformation of the radiation-reaction force in a non-uniform magnetic field

Joan Decker

In this paper, we present the guiding-centre transformation of the radiation reaction force of a classical point charge travelling in a non-uniform magnetic field. The transformation is valid as long as the gyroradius of the charged particles is much small ...
