Experimental investigation of coaxial-gun-formed plasmas injected into a background transverse magnetic field or plasma
Yue Zhang, Dustin M. Fisher, Mark Gilmore +2
Injection of coaxial-gun-formed magnetized plasmas into a background transverse vacuum magnetic field or into a background magnetized plasma has been studied in the helicon-cathode…
Emergent kink stability of a magnetized plasma jet injected into a transverse background magnetic field
Yue Zhang, Mark Gilmore, Scott C. Hsu +2
We report experimental results on the injection of a magnetized plasma jet into a transverse background magnetic field in the HelCat linear plasma device at the University of New M…
Experimental characterization of railgun-driven supersonic plasma jets motivated by high energy density physics applications
S. C. Hsu, E. C. Merritt, A. L. Moser +11
We report experimental results on the parameters, structure, and evolution of high-Mach-number (M) argon plasma jets formed and launched by a pulsed-power-driven railgun. The nomin…
Multi-chord fiber-coupled interferometry of supersonic plasma jets and comparisons with synthetic data
Elizabeth C. Merritt, Alan G. Lynn, Mark A. Gilmore +3
A multi-chord fiber-coupled interferometer [Merritt et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 83, 033506 (2012)] is being used to make time-resolved density measurements of supersonic argon plasm…
Multi-chord fiber-coupled interferometer with a long coherence length laser
Elizabeth C. Merritt, Alan G. Lynn, Mark A. Gilmore +1
This paper describes a 561 nm laser heterodyne interferometer that provides time-resolved measurements of line-integrated plasma electron density within the range of 10^15-10^18 cm…
Ideal magnetohydrodynamic simulation of magnetic bubble expansion as a model for extragalactic radio lobes
Wei Liu, Scott C. Hsu, Hui Li +2
Nonlinear ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the propagation and expansion of a magnetic "bubble" plasma into a lower density, weakly-magnetized background plasma are p…
