Ultrafast proton radiography of the magnetic fields generated by a laser-driven coil current
Lan Gao, Hantao Ji, Gennady Fiksel +3
Magnetic fields generated by a current flowing through a U-shaped coil connecting two copper foils were measured using ultrafast proton radiography. Two 1.25 kJ, 1-ns laser p…
Taylor-Couette flow for astrophysical purposes
H. Ji, J. Goodman
A concise review is given of astrophysically motivated experimental and theoretical research on Taylor-Couette flow. The flows of interest rotate differentially with inner cylinder…
Super-Fermi Acceleration in Multiscale MHD Reconnection
Stephen Majeski, Hantao Ji
We investigate the Fermi acceleration of charged particles in 2D MHD anti-parallel plasmoid reconnection, finding a drastic enhancement in energization rate ove…
Observation of axisymmetric standard magnetorotational instability in the laboratory
Yin Wang, Erik P. Gilson, Fatima Ebrahimi +2
We report the first direct evidence for the axisymmetric standard magnetorotational instability (SMRI) from a combined experimental and numerical study of a magnetized liquid-metal…
Ion and Electron Acoustic Bursts during Anti-Parallel Magnetic Reconnection Driven by Lasers
Shu Zhang, Abraham Chien, Lan Gao +10
Magnetic reconnection converts magnetic energy into thermal and kinetic energy in plasma. Among numerous candidate mechanisms, ion acoustic instabilities driven by the relative dri…
Two-dimensional plasma density evolution local to the inversion layer during sawtooth crash events using Beam Emission Spectroscopy
Sayak Bose, William Fox, Dingyun Liu +4
We present methods for analyzing Beam Emission Spectroscopy (BES) data to obtain the plasma density evolution associated with rapid sawtooth crash events at the DIII-D tokamak. BES…
