Non-thermal fusion burning processes, relevant collective modes and gained perspectives Open
New tridimensional plasma structures, that are oscillatory and classified as non-separable ballooning modes, can emerge in inhomogeneous plasmas and undergo resonant mode-particle interactions, e.g., with a minority population, that can le…

“Cosmic alternator” for the onset of large-scale magnetic fields Open
Magnetic field configurations extending over macroscopic scale distances are shown to be generated in rarefied collisionless plasmas when non-thermal and spatially inhomogeneous electron distributions in phase space emerge. The analyzed re…

Endogenous and asymmetric magnetic reconnection with associated processes of relevance to fusion burning plasmas Open
We report an endogenous magnetic reconnection process is characterized by a driving factor that lays within the layer where a drastic change of magnetic field topology occurs. This kind of process is shown to take place in the presence of …

Asymmetric and endogenous magnetic reconnection processes in quasi-collisionless plasmas Open
We define an endogenous magnetic reconnection process as the one having a driving factor that lies within the region where a drastic change in magnetic field topology occurs. A process of this kind is shown to take place when an electron t…

Fusion Burning in Magnetically Confined Toroidal Plasmas Open
The thermonuclear instability in a toroidal fusion burning plasma [1] is shown to manifest itself as a driving factor of modes that are radially localized around closed field lines on rational magnetic surfaces. The radial profile of the e…

Magneto-thermal reconnection processes, related mode momentum and formation of high energy particle populations Open
In the context of a two-fluid theory of magnetic reconnection, when the longitudinal electron thermal conductivity is relatively large, the perturbed electron temperature tends to become singular in the presence of a reconnected field comp…

Open theoretical issues and their solutions for fusion relevant physical regimes Open
The effort to identify the properties of fusion burning plasmas, involving issues of basic plasma physics and new revealing experimental observations, has led to the development of a theoretical basis for three relevant subjects: (i) novel…
