Direct Measurement of Electron Heating in Electron-Only Reconnection in a Laboratory Mini-Magnetosphere
Lucas Rovige, Filipe D. Cruz, Timothy Van Hoomissen +6
We report on the experimental observation of electron heating in electron-only magnetic reconnection in laser-driven laboratory mini-magnetospheres on the Large Plasma Device (LAPD…
Laboratory study of magnetic reconnection in lunar-relevant mini-magnetospheres
Lucas Rovige, Filipe D. Cruz, Robert S. Dorst +7
Mini-magnetospheres are small ion-scale structures that are well-suited to studying kinetic-scale physics of collisionless space plasmas. Such ion-scale magnetospheres can be found…
Strong collisionless coupling between an unmagnetized driver plasma and a magnetized background plasma
Filipe D. Cruz, Derek. B. Schaeffer, Fábio Cruz +1
Fast-exploding plasmas traveling though magnetized, collisionless plasmas can occur in a variety of physical systems, such as supernova remnants, coronal mass ejections, and laser-…
Laser-Driven, Ion-Scale Magnetospheres in Laboratory Plasmas. II. Particle-in-cell Simulations
Filipe D. Cruz, Derek B. Schaeffer, Fábio Cruz +1
Ion-scale magnetospheres have been observed around comets, weakly-magnetized asteroids, and localized regions on the Moon, and provide a unique environment to study kinetic-scale p…
