An Imaging Refractometer for Density Fluctuation Measurements in High Energy Density Plasmas
J. D. Hare, G. C. Burdiak, S. Merlini +9
We report on a recently developed laser-probing diagnostic which allows direct measurements of ray-deflection angles in one axis, whilst retaining imaging capabilities in the other…

Interactions of magnetized plasma flows in pulsed-power driven experiments
L G Suttle, G C Burdiak, C L Cheung +11
A supersonic flow of magnetized plasma is produced by the application of a 1 MA-peak, 500 ns current pulse to a cylindrical arrangement of parallel wires, known as an inverse wire…

Ion heating and magnetic flux pile-up in a magnetic reconnection experiment with super-Alfvenic plasma inflows
L. G. Suttle, J. D. Hare, S. V. Lebedev +15
This work presents a magnetic reconnection experiment in which the kinetic, magnetic and thermal properties of the plasma each play an important role in the overall energy balance…
