Regulation of the Normalized Rate of Driven Magnetic Reconnection through Shocked Flux Pileup
J. Olson, J. Egedal, M. Clark +7
Magnetic reconnection is explored on the Terrestrial Reconnection Experiment (TREX) for asymmetric inflow conditions and in a configuration where the absolute rate of reconnection…
Laminar and Turbulent Plasmoid Ejection in a Laboratory Parker Spiral Current Sheet
Ethan E. Peterson, Douglass A. Endrizzi, Michael Clark +8
Quasi-periodic plasmoid formation at the tip of magnetic streamer structures is observed to occur in experiments on the Big Red Ball as well as in simulations of these experiments…
Ion heating and flow driven by an Instability found in Plasma Couette Flow
J. Milhone, K. Flanagan, J. Egedal +5
We present the first observation of instability in weakly magnetized, pressure dominated plasma Couette flow firmly in the Hall regime. Strong Hall currents couple to a low frequen…
Weakly magnetized, Hall dominated plasma Couette flow
K. Flanagan, J. Milhone, J. Egedal +5
A novel plasma equilibrium in the high-, Hall regime that produces centrally-peaked, high Mach number Couette flow is described. Flow is driven using a weak, uniform magnetic fi…
The Wisconsin Plasma Astrophysics Laboratory
C. B. Forest, K. Flanagan, M. Brookhart +21
The Wisconsin Plasma Astrophysics Laboratory (WiPAL) is a flexible user facility designed to study a range of astrophysically relevant plasma processes as well as novel geometries…
