Dynamic formation of stable current-driven plasma jets

Journal Article Underwood, Thomas C. ; Loebner, Keith T. K. ; Miller, Victor A. ; ... - Scientific Reports

Abstract Instabilities play a prominent role in determining the inherent structure and properties of magnetized plasma jets spanning both laboratory and astrophysical settings. The manner in which prominent unstable modes dynamically evolve remains key to understanding plasma behavior and control. In astrophysical phenomena, self-similar jets are observed to propagate over vast distances while avoiding breakup caused by unstable mode growth. However, the production of stable dense plasma jets in the laboratory has been limited by the onset of unstable modes that restrict jet lifetime, collimation, and scalability. In this work, we visualize the formation of stable laboratory-generated, dense, super-magnetosonic plasmamore »« less

Spin-orbit branching ratios for photoionization of the 3dπ gerade states of O₂: Evidence for preferential ionization of the Ω_c=3/2 core states

Journal Article Glab, W. L. ; Dehmer, Patricia M. ; Dehmer, Joseph L. - Journal of Chemical Physics

We have obtained high-resolution photoelectron spectra for eight of the ten 3dπ electronic states of O₂, using a rotationally resolved, two-color 2+1` excitation and ionization scheme. A magnetic bottle photoelectron spectrometer, used to acquire the spectra, provided a resolution sufficient to observe the yields of the individual spin-orbit states of the ground electronic state of the ion. Branching ratios were obtained from the spectra for three different photoionization wavelengths. The overall behavior of the branching ratios for different electronic states can be explained by calculating the core state composition of the intermediate states, taking into account the spin-orbit mixing ofmore »« less

Avoiding Tokamak Disruptions by Applying Static Magnetic Fields That Align Locked Modes with Stabilizing Wave-Driven Currents [Avoiding Tokamak Disruptions by Magnetically Aligning Locked Modes with Stabilizing Wave-Driven Currents]

Journal Article Volpe, F. A. ; Hyatt, Alan ; La Haye, Robert J. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The international ITER tokamak has the objective of demonstrating the scientific feasibility of magnetic confinement fusion as a source of energy. A concern towards the achievement of this goal is represented by major disruptions: complete losses of confinement often initiated by a non-rotating ('locked') magnetic island created by magnetic reconnection. During disruptions, energy and particles accumulated in the plasma volume over many seconds are lost in a few milliseconds and released on the plasma-facing materials. In addition, multi-MA level currents flowing in the tokamak plasma for its sustainment and confinement are lost, also in milliseconds, thus terminating the plasma dischargemore »« less

Current-driven plasma acceleration versus current-driven energy dissipation. I. Wave stability theory

Conference Kelly, A J ; Jahn, R G ; Choueiri, E Y

The dominant unstable electrostatic wave modes of an electromagnetically accelerated plasma are investigated. The study is the first part of a three-phase program aimed at characterizing the current-driven turbulent dissipation degrading the efficiency of Lorentz force plasma accelerators such as the MPD thruster. The analysis uses a kinetic theory that includes magnetic and thermal effects as well as those of an electron current transverse to the magnetic field and collisions, thus combining all the features of previous models. Analytical and numerical solutions allow a detailed description of threshold criteria, finite growth behavior, destabilization mechanisms and maximized-growth characteristics of the dominantmore »« less
