“Reduced”(ie, simplified or approximate) ion-kinetic (RIK) models in radiation-hydrodynamic
simulations permit a useful description of inertial-confinement-fusion (ICF) implosions where …

The distribution function of suprathermal ions is found to be self-similar under conditions
relevant to inertial confinement fusion hot spots. By utilizing this feature, interference …

A reduced kinetic method (RKM) with a first-principles collision operator is introduced in a
1D2V planar geometry and implemented in a computationally inexpensive code to …

Collisional plasma shocks generated from supersonic flows are an important feature in
many astrophysical and laboratory high-energy-density plasmas. Compared to single-ion …

A series of reduced models are used to study the fast ion tail in the vicinity of a transition
layer between plasmas at disparate temperatures and densities, which is typical of the gas …

A physics-informed neural network (PINN) is used to evaluate the fast ion distribution in the
hot spot of an inertial confinement fusion target. The use of tailored input and output layers to …

The loss of fuel ions in the Gamow peak and other kinetic effects related to the α particles
during ignition, run-away burn, and disassembly stages of an inertial confinement fusion DT …

We observe shock-front separation and species-dependent shock widths in multi-ion-
species collisional plasma shocks, which are produced by obliquely merging plasma jets of …

Particle simulations are used to solve the fully nonlinear, collisional kinetic equation
describing the interaction of a high-temperature, high-density, deuterium-tritium plasma with …

Using the free‐free continuum self‐emission spectrum at photon energies above 15 keV is
one of the most promising concepts for assessing the electron temperature in inertial …
