Negative-energy perturbations in cylindrical equilibria with a radial electric field
The impact of an equilibrium radial electric field on negative-energy
perturbations (NEPs) (which are potentially dangerous because they can lead to
either linear or nonlinear explosive instabilities) in cylindrical equilibria
of magnetically confined plasmas is investigated within the framework of
Maxwell-drift kinetic theory. It turns out that for wave vectors with a
non-vanishing component parallel to the magnetic field the conditions for the
existence of NEPs in equilibria with E=0 [G. N. Throumoulopoulos and D.
Pfirsch, Phys. Rev. E 53, 2767 (1996)] remain valid, while the condition for
the existence of perpendicular NEPs, which are found to be the most important
perturbations, is modified. For ( is the
electrostatic potential) and ( is
the total plasma pressure), a case which is of operational interest in magnetic
confinement systems, the existence of perpendicular NEPs depends on ,
where is the charge of the particle species . In this case the
electric field can reduce the NEPs activity in the edge region of tokamaklike
and stellaratorlike equilibria with identical parabolic pressure profiles, the
reduction of electron NEPs being more pronounced than that of ion NEPs.Comment: 30 pages, late

Cosmological scenarios from multiquintessence
In this work we derive and analyse cosmological scenarios coming from
multi-component scalar field models. We consider a direct sum of a sine-Gordon
with a Z2 model, and also a combination of those with a BNRT model. Moreover,
we work with a modified version of the BNRT model, which breaks the Z2 x Z2
symmetry of the original BNRT potential, coupled with the sine-Gordon and with
the standard Z2 models. We show that our approach can be straightforwardly
elevated to fields. All the computations are made analytically and some
parameters restriction is put forward in order to get in touch with complete
and realistic cosmological scenarios
