Modeling resonance characteristics of the Chang'e-7 lander modulated by solar panel rotation under lunar south-pole thermal environment

This study establishes a high-fidelity finite-element model of the Chang'e-7 lander to demonstrate that extreme lunar south-pole thermal cycles, primarily affecting solar array stiffness, cause significant drift in the lander's fundamental resonance frequency (0.64–0.87 Hz), which critically overlaps with the seismic observation window and necessitates specific noise filtering strategies for accurate interior probing.

Mode-Selective Laser Propagation and Absorption in Strongly Magnetized Inhomogeneous Plasma

This paper systematically investigates the propagation and collisional absorption of normally incident laser light in strongly magnetized inhomogeneous plasma, revealing that while left-hand circularly polarized waves reflect at cutoff with enhanced absorption at higher magnetic fields, right-hand polarized waves can transition into whistler modes above a critical frequency to penetrate and deposit energy deep within overdense plasma.

Nonlinear generation of global zonal structures in gyrokinetic simulations of TCV and ASDEX Upgrade magnetic configurations

Using gyrokinetic simulations with the ORB5 code, this study demonstrates that global zonal structures in the geodesic acoustic mode frequency range are non-linearly generated by the high-n component of turbulence in TCV and ASDEX Upgrade magnetic configurations, a mechanism confirmed by isolating the effect via antenna-driven turbulence modes.

Spherical compression of an applied magnetic field in inertial confinement fusion

This paper presents an analytic model demonstrating that ablation-driven field compression in magnetized inertial confinement fusion creates a radially bent field at the hotspot edge that negates thermal insulation benefits, while showing that an initially applied mirror field configuration yields superior performance compared to standard axial fields.
