Dual Mode Operation of a Hydromagnetic Plasma Thruster to Achieve Tunable Thrust and Specific Impulse
T. C. Underwood, W. Riedel, M. A. Cappelli
We report here on initial studies of a pulsed hydromagnetic plasma gun that can operate in either a pre-filled or a gas-puff mode on demand. These modes enable agile and responsive…
Effects of Flow Collisionality on ELM Replication in Plasma Guns
Thomas C. Underwood, Vivek Subramaniam, William M. Riedel +2
Degradation of first wall materials due to plasma disturbances severely limit both the lifetime and longevity of fusion reactors. Among the various kinds of disturbances, type I ed…
Gaseous Plasmonic Resonators for Metamaterial Applications
Roberto A. Colón Quiñones, Thomas C. Underwood, Mark A. Cappelli
We examine the properties of a gaseous plasma resonator generated by focusing a high-energy laser pulse through a lens and into a gas. An analytical model is presented describing t…
