James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics
Renowned theorist Amitava Bhattacharjee wins the prize
Amitava Bhattacharjee, a distinguished plasma physicist and head of the Theory Department at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) from 2012 to 2021, has won the 2022 James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics. The honor from the American Physical Society-Division of Plasma Physics (APS-DPP), named for a Scottish 19th Century father of physics who established the basic theory of electromagnetism, recognizes “outstanding contributions to the field of plasma physics.”
Plasma Tools
The gateway enables access to computing with Gkeyll code. Gkeyll, ten-moment multifluid code solves the continuity, momentum, and pressure tensor equations of both protons and electrons, as well as the full Maxwell equations. Non-ideal effects like the Hall effect, inertia, and tensorial pressures are self-consistently embedded without the need to explicitly solve a generalized Ohm's law.
SciGaP
Science Gateway Platform as a Service
Science Gateways are easy to build but hard to sustain. Key developers come and go. Scaling up to support growing user communities and more demanding usage takes a lot of work. Things go wrong at the worst times. SciGaP's goal is to help gateways address these problems.
