The structure of 3D collisional magnetized bow shocks in pulsed-power-driven plasma flow
Rishabh Datta, Danny R. Russell, Iek Tang +5
We investigate 3D bow shocks in a highly collisional magnetized aluminum plasma, generated during the ablation phase of an exploding wire array on the MAGPIE facility (1.4 MA, 240…
Experimental Evidence of Plasmoids in High- Magnetic Reconnection
J. A. Pearcy, M. J. Rosenberg, T. M. Johnson +6
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous and fundamental process in plasmas by which magnetic fields change their topology and release magnetic energy. Despite decades of research, th…
Time-resolved velocity and ion sound speed measurements from simultaneous bow shock imaging and inductive probe measurements
R. Datta, D. R. Russell, T. Clayson +3
We present a technique to measure the time-resolved velocity and ion sound speed in magnetized, supersonic high-energy-density plasmas. We place an inductive (`b-dot') probe in a s…
Characterization of Quasi-Keplerian, Differentially Rotating, Free-Boundary Laboratory Plasmas
V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, L. G. Suttle, F. Suzuki-Vidal +9
We present results from pulsed-power driven differentially rotating plasma experiments designed to simulate physics relevant to astrophysical disks and jets. In these experiments,…
Perpendicular subcritical shock structure in a collisional plasma experiment
D. R. Russell, G. C. Burdiak, J. J. Carroll-Nellenback +13
We present a study of perpendicular subcritical shocks in a collisional laboratory plasma. Shocks are produced by placing obstacles into the super-magnetosonic outflow from an inve…
