Structure and Dynamics of Magneto-Inertial, Differentially Rotating Laboratory Plasmas
V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, L. G. Suttle, F. Suzuki-Vidal +9
We present a detailed characterization of the structure and evolution of differentially rotating plasmas driven on the MAGPIE pulsed-power generator (1.4 MA peak current, 240 ns ri…
Radiatively Cooled Magnetic Reconnection Experiments Driven by Pulsed Power
R Datta, K Chandler, C E Myers +20
We present evidence for strong radiative cooling in a pulsed-power-driven magnetic reconnection experiment. Two aluminum exploding wire arrays, driven by a 20 MA peak current, 300…
Plasmoid formation and strong radiative cooling in a driven magnetic reconnection experiment
R. Datta, K. Chandler, C. E. Myers +20
We present results from the first experimental study of strongly radiatively-cooled magnetic reconnection. Two exploding aluminum wire arrays, driven simultaneously by the Z machin…
Cooling and Instabilities in Colliding Radiative Flows with Toroidal Magnetic Fields
R. N. Markwick, A. Frank, E. G. Blackman +6
We report on the results of a simulation based study of colliding magnetized plasma flows. Our set-up mimics pulsed power laboratory astrophysical experiments but, with an appropri…
Characterization of Quasi-Keplerian, Differentially Rotating, Free-Boundary Laboratory Plasmas
V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, L. G. Suttle, F. Suzuki-Vidal +9
We present results from pulsed-power driven differentially rotating plasma experiments designed to simulate physics relevant to astrophysical disks and jets. In these experiments,…
