Delayed current sheet formation due to an external field in pulsed-power-driven reconnection experiments
T. W. O. Varnish, G. V. Dowhan, M. Chen +8
We present results from pulsed-power-driven magnetic reconnection experiments, in which we drove two exploding wire arrays in parallel to produce colliding plasma flows with anti-p…
Quadrupolar Density Structures in Driven Magnetic Reconnection Experiments with a Guide Field
T. W. O. Varnish, J. Chen, S. Chowdhry +10
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous process in plasma physics, driving rapid and energetic events such as coronal mass ejections. Reconnection between magnetic fields with arbitr…
Plasma flows during the ablation stage of an over-massed pulsed-power-driven exploding planar wire array
R. Datta, J. Angel, J. B. Greenly +10
We characterize the plasma flows generated during the ablation stage of an over-massed exploding planar wire array, fielded on the COBRA pulsed-power facility (1 MA peak current, 2…
Radiative cooling effects on reverse shocks formed by magnetised supersonic plasma flows
S. Merlini, J. D. Hare, G. C. Burdiak +15
We study the structure of reverse shocks formed by the collision of supersonic, magnetised plasma flows driven by an inverse (or exploding) wire array with a planar conducting obst…
