568. From Plasma to Complex Plasma

Prof. Osamu Ishihara (Chubu University/Yokohama National University)

16/06/2015, 15:45

Plasma Physics / Physique des plasmas (DPP)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité

Earlier research on plasma turbulence and later research development on a complex plasma are discussed. Study of nonlinear evolution of instabilities in a collisionless plasma, especially ion acoustic instability and Buneman instability, revealed the role of plasma collective modes in the heating of plasma particles. It was essential for plasma waves to grow in time, resulting in the heating...

672. Fluctuations and Transport in Hall devices with ExB drift

Dr Andrei Smolyakov (University of Saakatchewan)

Plasma Physics / Physique des plasmas (DPP)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité

Devices with stationary, externally applied, electric field which is perpendicular to a moderate amplitude magnetic field B₀, are now a common example of magnetically controlled plasmas. High interest applications involve Penning type plasma sources, magnetrons for plasma processing, magnetic filters for ion separation, and electric space propulsion devices such as Hall thrusters. One common...

830. Adaptive Matrix Transpose Algorithms for Distributed Multicore Processors

John Bowman (University of Alberta)

Plasma Physics / Physique des plasmas (DPP)

Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)

The matrix transpose is an essential primitive of high-performance parallel computing. In plasma physics and fluid dynamics, a matrix transpose is used to localize the computation of the multidimensional Fast Fourier transform, the engine that powers the pseudospectral collocation method. An adaptive parallel matrix transpose algorithm optimized for distributed multicore architectures...

762. Dense Plasma Focus for Short-Lived Isotope Activation

Mr R. A. Behbahani (University of Saskatchewan)

Plasma Physics / Physique des plasmas (DPP)

Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)

Short-lived radioisotopes (SLRs) are used for medical applications including positron emission tomography (PET). The required activity for N-13for PET is about 4 GBq for a myocardial blood perfusion assessment. Dense plasma focus (DPF) has been considered as a low cost methods for producing SLRs as an alternative to conventional cyclotron facilities. A low energy dense plasma focus has been...
