There are many opportunities for graduate student research in computational physics of plasmas and beams, including the study of nanoscale vacuum channel transistors, the study of the formation of ...

The research team of Assistant Professor Masahiko Sato and Professor Yasushi Todo of the National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS) National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) has succeeded using ...

Figure 1: Schematic of relativistic transparency and experimental set-up. Figure 2: 2D-VPIC simulation of 100 nm foil interaction with the laser. Figure 3: Evolution of plasma density and Lorentz ...

To share and disseminate information from our simulations we animate the resulting images. This allows us to compress the sequence and post it on the internet or send it via email to collaborators and ...

A research group using the NIFS 'Plasma Simulator' supercomputer succeeded for the first time in the world in calculating the movements of one billion plasma particles and the electrical field ...

Physicists have simulated the spontaneous transition of turbulence at the edge of a fusion plasma to the high-confinement mode that sustains fusion reactions. The research was achieved with the ...
