Characterizing time intermittency in non-diffusive fast ion transport through plasma turbulence

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Oulfa Chellaï, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Fabian Manke

Turbulent fast ion transport has been investigated in astrophisycal, laboratory and fusion plasmas. When gyro- and drift-averaging across plasma structures manifest as non-markovian and non-local effects, this results in generally non-diffusive transport. ...

Time intermittency in nondiffusive transport regimes of suprathermal ions in turbulent plasmas

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Oulfa Chellaï, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Fabian Manke

Intermittent phenomena have long been studied in the context of nondiffusive transport across a variety of fields. In the TORPEX device, the cross-field spreading of an injected suprathermal ion beam by electrostatic plasma turbulence can access different ...

Homogenization theory for the effective permittivity of a turbulent tokamak plasma in the scrape-off layer

Stefano Alberti, Ivo Furno, Oulfa Chellaï

There has been a growing interest, over the past few years, on understanding the effect on radio frequency waves due to turbulence in the scrape-off layer of tokamak plasmas. While the far scrape-off layer density width is of the order of centimetres in co ...
