Two-stream instability with a growth rate insensitive to collisions in a dissipative plasma jet
Yi Zhou, Paul M. Bellan
The two-stream instability (Buneman instability) is traditionally derived as a collisionless instability with the presumption that collisions inhibit this instability. We show here…
Plasma Image Classification Using Cosine Similarity Constrained CNN
Michael J. Falato, Bradley T. Wolfe, Tali M. Natan +5
Plasma jets are widely investigated both in the laboratory and in nature. Astrophysical objects such as black holes, active galactic nuclei, and young stellar objects commonly emit…
Mechanism for the efficient homogeneous nucleation of ice in a weakly-ionized, ultra-cold plasma
Paul M. Bellan
It is proposed that the rapid observed homogeneous nucleation of ice dust in a cold, weakly-ionized plasma depends on the formation of hydroxide (OH) by fast electrons impactin…
Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena throughout the Universe
H. Ji, A. Alt, S. Antiochos +97
This white paper summarizes major scientific challenges and opportunities in understanding magnetic reconnection and related explosive phenomena as a fundamental plasma process.
Magnetic axis safety factor of finite spheromaks and transition from spheromaks to toroidal magnetic bubbles
Paul M. Bellan, Roberto Paccagnella
The value of the safety factor on the magnetic axis of a finite-beta spheromak is shown to be a function of beta in contrast to what was used in P. M. Bellan, Phys. Plasmas 9, 3050…
Observation of Kinetic Plasma Jets
S. K. P. Tripathi, P. M. Bellan, G. S. Yun
Under certain conditions an intense kinetic plasma jet is observed to emerge from the apex of laboratory simulations of coronal plasma loops. Analytic and numerical models show tha…
