H -mode behavior induced by cross-field currents in a tokamak
R. J. Taylor,M. L. Brown,Burton D. Fried,H. Grote,J.R. Liberati,George Morales,Patrick Pribyl,D. S. Darrow,M. Ono +8 more
TL;DR: A sharp transport barrier, accompanied by a bifurcated poloidal rotation and a radial electric field, is formed at the plasma edge by driving a radial current across the outer magnetic surfaces of a tokamak.
Journal ArticleDOI
The upgraded Large Plasma Device, a machine for studying frontier basic plasma physics
Walter Gekelman,Patrick Pribyl,Z. Lucky,M. Drandell,D. Leneman,James Maggs,Stephen Vincena,B. Van Compernolle,Shreekrishna Tripathi,George Morales,Troy Carter,Y. Wang,T. DeHaas +12 more
TL;DR: The strategy of the machine construction, the available diagnostics, the parameters available for experiments, as well as illustrations of several experiments are presented here.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of localized electric fields on the evolution of the velocity distribution function
George Morales,Y. C. Lee +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the interaction between charged particles and sharply localized fields is investigated and the random particle scattering is described by a Fokker-Planck equation whose time-dependent solution exhibits the formation of a highly populated superthermal tail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear Filamentation of Lower-Hybrid Cones
George Morales,Y. C. Lee +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the nonlinear distortion of the propagation cones of lower-hybrid waves is shown to be governed by the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation, which admits exact solutions of the multiple-soliton form.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ponderomotive-Force Effects in a Nonuniform Plasma
George Morales,Y. C. Lee +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the ponderomotive force in the interaction of a capacitor field with a nonuniform plasma was investigated, and it was shown that the effect is independent of the capacitance of the capacitor field.
