Simulation high school student electron trajectories prescribed magnetic field varying sinusoidally time frequency enormous complexity

Key to fusion success is controlling and understanding plasma movement.

Plasma particle trajectories become extremely complex with magnetic fields.

Plasma physics is pre-relativistic and pre-quantum Maxwell Boltzmann complexity.

Energetic fusion-born alpha particles critical plasma hot self-sustained.

Plasma acts like liquid when dense enough magnetohydrodynamics.

Magnetic reconnection releases energy plasmoids formation.

Confinement transport fusion plasmas impaired turbulence macroscopic instabilities.
