Prof. Sami Cuperman

Prof. Sami Cuperman works on basic and computational plasma subjects including plasma- waves interactions and extension of plasma model equations and their solutions; space ,solar wind and solar corona plasma physics including theory and numerical simulations; collective effects in the evolution  of stellar systems, including modeling and numerical simulations; Nuclear physics including the search for pseudoscalar interactios in +1/2 - -1/2 beta decay transitions; controlled thermonuclear fusion, including ion-beam-pellet, laser fusion plasmas and magnetically confined fusion plasmas; applied plasma physics including equilibrium stability, analysis of rippled magnetically focused beams of charged particles, physical processes in high pressure discharges and industrial applications.
