Abstract

Bronin et al. [Phys. Rev. E 108, 045209 (2023)2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.108.045209] recently reported molecular-dynamics simulations of ultracold neutral plasmas expanding in a quadrupole magnetic field. While the main results are in agreement with prior experimental measurements, we present data showing oscillations not captured in the simulations of Bronin et al. Plasmas formed using pulsed or continuous-wave ionization processes have similar confinement times.
