Non-local Ohm's law during collisions of magnetic flux ropes

Journal Article Gekelman, W. ; DeHaas, T. ; Pribyl, P. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Two kink unstable magnetic flux ropes are produced in a carefully diagnosed laboratory experiment. Using probes, the time varying magnetic field, plasma potential, plasma flow, temperature, and density were measured at over 42 000 spatial locations. These were used to derive all the terms in Ohm's law to calculate the plasma resistivity. The resistivity calculated by this method was negative in some spatial regions and times. Ohm's law was shown to be non-local. Instead, the Kubo resistivity at the flux rope kink frequency was calculated using the fluctuation dissipation theorem. In conclusion, the resistivity parallel to the magnetic field wasmore »« less

Effects of Boundary Conditions and Flow on the Kink Instability in a Cylindrical Plasma Column

Journal Article Furno, I ; Intrator, T P ; Lapenta, G ; ... - Physics of Plasmas, N/A, N/A, February 28, 2007, pp. 022103

An experimental investigation of the kink instability is presented in a linear plasma column where one end is line-tied to the plasma source, and the other end is not line-tied and therefore free to slide over the surface of the end-plate. This latter boundary condition is a result of plasma sheath resistance that insulates, at least partially, the plasma from the end-plate. The helical m = 1 kink mode is observed to grow when the plasma current exceeds a threshold and, close to the criticality, is characterized by an axial mode structure with maximum displacement at the free axial boundary.more »« less

Are two plasma equilibrium states possible when the emission coefficient exceeds unity?

Journal Article Campanell, Michael D. ; Umansky, M. V. - Physics of Plasmas

Two floating sheath solutions with strong electron emission in planar geometry have been proposed, a “space-charge limited” (SCL) sheath and an “inverse” sheath. SCL and inverse models contain different assumptions about conditions outside the sheath (e.g., the velocity of ions entering the sheath). So it is not yet clear whether both sheaths are possible in practice, or only one. Here we treat the global presheath-sheath problem for a plasma produced volumetrically between two planar walls. We show that all equilibrium requirements (a) floating condition, (b) plasma shielding, and (c) presheath force balance, can indeed be satisfied in two different waysmore »« less

Design and validation of the ball-pen probe for measurements in a low-temperature magnetized plasma

Journal Article Bousselin, G. ; Cavalier, J. ; Pautex, J. F. ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Ball-pen probes have been used in fusion devices for direct measurements of the plasma potential. Their application in low-temperature magnetized plasma devices is still subject to studies. In this context, a ball-pen probe has been recently implemented on the linear plasma device Mirabelle. Produced by a thermionic discharge, the plasma is characterized by a low electron temperature and a low density. Plasma confinement is provided by an axial magnetic field that goes up to 100 mT. The principle of the ball-pen probe is to adjust the saturation current ratio to 1 by reducing the electron current contribution. In that case,more »« less

Observations of a field-aligned ion/ion-beam instability in a magnetized laboratory plasma

Journal Article Heuer, P. V. ; Weidl, M. S. ; Dorst, R. S. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Collisionless coupling between super Alfvénic ions and an ambient plasma parallel to a background magnetic field is mediated by a set of electromagnetic ion/ion-beam instabilities including the resonant right hand instability (RHI). To study this coupling and its role in parallel shock formation, a new experimental configuration at the University of California, Los Angeles utilizes high-energy and high-repetition-rate lasers to create a super-Alfvénic field-aligned debris plasma within an ambient plasma in the Large Plasma Device. We used a time-resolved fluorescence monochromator and an array of Langmuir probes to characterize the laser plasma velocity distribution and density. The debris ions weremore »« less
