Experiment to Form and Characterize a Section of a Spherically Imploding Plasma Liner
S. C. Hsu, S. J. Langendorf, K. C. Yates +13
We describe an experiment to form and characterize a section of a spherically imploding plasma liner by merging six supersonic plasma jets that are launched by newly designed conto…
Parker Solar Probe Observations of Energetic Particles in the Flank of a Coronal Mass Ejection Close to the Sun
N. A. Schwadron, Stuart D. Bale, J. Bonnell +32
We present an event observed by Parker Solar Probe at 0.2 au on March 2, 2022 in which imaging and \emph{in situ} measurements coincide. During this event, PSP passed through…
Formation and Study of a Spherical Plasma Liner for Plasma-Jet-Driven Magneto-Inertial Fusion
A. L. LaJoie, F. Chu, A. Brown +9
Plasma-jet-driven magneto-inertial fusion (PJMIF) is an alternative approach to controlled nuclear fusion which aims to utilize a line-replaceable dense plasma liner as a repetitiv…
Clustering of Intermittent Magnetic and Flow Structures near Parker Solar Probe's First Perihelion -- A Partial-Variance-of-Increments Analysis
Rohit Chhiber, M. Goldstein, B. Maruca +23
During the Parker Solar Probe's (PSP) first perihelion pass, the spacecraft reached within a heliocentric distance of \(\sim 37~R_\odot\) and observed numerous magnetic and flow st…
Seed Population Pre-Conditioning and Acceleration Observed by Parker Solar Probe
N. A. Schwadron, S. Bale, J. Bonnell +42
A series of solar energetic particle (SEP) events were observed at Parker Solar Probe (PSP) by the Integrated Science Investigation of the Sun (\ISOIS) during the period from April…
Laboratory plasma physics experiments using merging supersonic plasma jets
S. C. Hsu, A. L. Moser, E. C. Merritt +8
We describe a laboratory plasma physics experiment at Los Alamos National Laboratory that uses two merging supersonic plasma jets formed and launched by pulsed-power-driven rail gu…
