Collisionless Larmor Coupling and Blob Formation in a Laser-Plasma Expanding into a Magnetized Ambient Plasma

Lucas Rovige, Robert S. Dorst, Ari Le +8

Collisionless Larmor coupling is a fundamental process in space and astrophysical plasmas that enables momentum transfer between an expanding plasma and a magnetized ambient medium…

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…

Two-dimensional Thomson scattering in high-repetition-rate laser-plasma experiments

H. Zhang, J. J. Pilgram, C. G. Constantin +7

We present the first two-dimensional (2D) optical Thomson scattering measurements of electron density and temperature in laser-produced plasmas. The novel instrument directly measu…
