Laboratory study of magnetic reconnection generated Alfven waves. Final report
This grant was funded through the Department of Energy, Office of Fusion Energy Junior Faculty Development Program. The grant funded the construction and start-up of the Articulated Large-area Plasma Helicon Array (alpha) experiment, and initial studies of Alfven wave propagation in helicon generated plasmas. The three year grant contract with Auburn University was terminated early (after two years) due to PI'S acceptance of a faculty position at New Mexico Tech. The project continues at New Mexico Tech under a different grant contract. The project met all of the second-year goals outlined in the proposal, and made progress toward meeting some of the third-year goals. The alpha facility was completed and multi-helicon operation was demonstrated. We have made initial measurements of Alfven waves in a helicon plasma source.
