On The Structure of Plasma Jets in the Rotating Plasma Experiment
V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, L. G. Suttle, F. Suzuki-Vidal +9
Recent pulsed-power experiments have demonstrated the formation of astrophysically-relevant, differentially rotating plasmas [1]. Key features of the plasma flows are the discovery…
Radiative cooling effects on reverse shocks formed by magnetised supersonic plasma flows
S. Merlini, J. D. Hare, G. C. Burdiak +15
We study the structure of reverse shocks formed by the collision of supersonic, magnetised plasma flows driven by an inverse (or exploding) wire array with a planar conducting obst…
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…
Two-Colour Interferometry and Thomson Scattering Measurements of a Plasma Gun
J. D. Hare, J. MacDonald, S. N. Bland +6
We present experimental measurements of a pulsed plasma gun, using two-colour imaging laser interferometry and spatially resolved Thomson scattering. Interferometry measurements gi…
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…
An Experimental Platform for Pulsed-Power Driven Magnetic Reconnection
J. D. Hare, L. G. Suttle, S. V. Lebedev +12
We describe a versatile pulsed-power driven platform for magnetic reconnection experiments, based on exploding wire arrays driven in parallel [Suttle, L. G. et al. PRL, 116, 225001…
