Experimental Plasma Density Profiles Determined Through Measurements of the Magnetosonic Wave Speed

Cameron Kuchta, Jan Egedal, Abhishek Mhatre +4

Information on plasma density in laboratory plasmas is commonly acquired using either Langmuir probes or optical diagnostics. Here, we present an alternative approach, inferring th…

Resistive and ferritic-wall plasma dynamos in a sphere

I. V. Khalzov, B. P. Brown, E. J. Kaplan +5

We numerically study the effects of varying electric conductivity and magnetic permeability of the bounding wall on a kinematic dynamo in a sphere for parameters relevant to Madiso…

Wave-driven dynamo action in spherical MHD systems

K. Reuter, F. Jenko, A. Tilgner +1

Hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic numerical studies of a mechanically forced two-vortex flow inside a sphere are reported. The simulations are performed in the intermediate regi…

The Need for Plasma Astrophysics in Understanding Life Cycles of Active Galaxies

H. Li, J. Arons, P. Bellan +8

In this White Paper, we emphasize the need for and the important role of plasma astrophysics in the studies of formation, evolution of, and feedback by Active Galaxies. We make thr…

A Spherical Plasma Dynamo Experiment

E. J. Spence, K. Reuter, C. B. Forest

We propose a plasma experiment to be used to investigate fundamental properties of astrophysical dynamos. The highly conducting, fast-flowing plasma will allow experimenters to exp…
