This paper reviews the research on the reversed field pinch (RFP) in the last three decades.
Substantial experimental and theoretical progress and transformational changes have been …

Abstract Space plasmas can be described as conducting flows in a turbulent state, where
fluid motion is determined by a host of kinetic and magnetic coherent structures of different …

Intermittent turbulence is key for understanding the stochastic nonlinear dynamics of space,
astrophysical, and laboratory plasmas. We review the theory of deterministic and stochastic …

We present a 3D MHD simulation of two merging flux ropes exhibiting self-generated and
self-sustaining turbulent reconnection (SGTR) that is fully 3D and fast. The exploration of …

The impact of an edge radial electric field on the particle orbits and the orbital spectrum in an
axisymmetric toroidal magnetic equilibrium is investigated using a guiding centre canonical …

Chirping Alfvén modes are considered as potentially harmful for the confinement of
energetic particles in burning tokamak plasmas. In fact, by changing their frequency, they …

This paper deals with helical self-organization in current-carrying toroidal pinches for the
magnetic confinement of fusion plasmas. We perform our study in the framework of 3D …

We report observational evidence of Lagrangian chaotic saddles in plasmas, given by the
intersections of finite-time unstable and stable manifolds, using an≈ 22 h sequence of …

This paper deals with the phenomenology of magnetic reconnection during reversed-field
pinch helical self-organization. Numerical results obtained by solving a three-dimensional …

A reduced 1D model describing the non-linear hybrid LIGKA/HAGIS simulations was
developed and successfully tested in [Carlevaro et al. PPCF 64, 035010 (2022)] addressing …
