Temperature and lifetime measurements in the SSX wind tunnel
M. Kaur, K. D. Gelber, A. D. Light +1
We describe electron temperature measurements in the SSX MHD wind tunnel using two different methods. First, we estimate along a chord by measuring the ratio of the $C_{III}~…
Magnetothermodynamics: Measurements of the thermodynamic properties in a relaxed magnetohydrodynamic plasma
M. Kaur, L. J. Barbano, E. M. Suen-Lewis +6
We have explored the thermodynamics of compressed magnetized plasmas in laboratory experiments and we call these studies "magnetothermodynamics". The experiments are carried out in…
Magnetothermodynamics: Measuring equations of state in a relaxed magnetohydrodynamic plasma
M. Kaur, L. J. Barbano, E. M. Suen-Lewis +4
We report the first measurements of equations of state of a fully relaxed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) laboratory plasma. Parcels of magnetized plasma, called Taylor states, are forme…
Current driven rotating kink mode in a plasma column with a non-line-tied free end
I. Furno, T. P. Intrator, S. Abbate +5
First experimental measurements are presented for the kink instability in a linear plasma column which is insulated from an axial boundary by finite sheath resistivity. Instability…
