Invited

The development of advanced diagnostic techniques is crucial for understanding complex physics at the base of laser-plasma interaction at high energy and intensity. The extreme conditions generated during these experiments, characterized by ultra-intense fields, evolving plasmas, and broadband radiation emission, pose significant challenges for diagnostics, requiring innovative approaches to...

18. From plasma physics to electric propulsion: magnetic reconnection for future space thrusters

Giulia Becatti (University of Pisa)

Invited

Recent advances in the space sector have led to new improvements in propulsion capabilities for the next generation space missions. Foreseen interplanetary missions such as the Cislunar space stations, cargo missions to Mars, and possibly human exploration of Mars call for novel, more advanced propulsion systems, with Electric Propulsion (EP) systems playing a significant role in this scenario...

46. Simulation of Low Temperature, Weakly Ionized Plasmas with applications to electric power industry

Andrea Barbareschi Villa (RSE - Ricerca Sul Sistema Energetico)

Oral

Partial discharges (PDs) are among the main degenerative phenomena affecting electrical components in power networks. Several configurations can lead to PDs (Corona, Dielectric Barrier Discharges, Surface Discharges, etc); however, their key ingredients typically include the formation of a low-temperature, weakly ionized plasma, caused by a strong electric field, that interacts with a...
