Prospects for observing the magnetorotational instability in the Plasma Couette Experiment
K. Flanagan, M. Clark, C. Collins +4
Many astrophysical disks, such as protoplanetary disks, are in a regime where non-ideal, plasma-specific magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects can significantly influence the behavior…
Taylor-Couette Flow of Unmagnetized Plasma
C. Collins, M. Clark, C. M. Cooper +6
Differentially rotating flows of unmagnetized, highly conducting plasmas have been created in the Plasma Couette Experiment. Previously, hot-cathodes have been used to control plas…
The Madison plasma dynamo experiment: a facility for studying laboratory plasma astrophysics
C. M. Cooper, J. Wallace, M. Brookhart +13
The Madison plasma dynamo experiment (MPDX) is a novel, versatile, basic plasma research device designed to investigate flow driven magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities and othe…
Stirring Unmagnetized Plasma
C. Collins, N. Katz, J. Wallace +4
A new concept for spinning unmagnetized plasma is demonstrated experimentally. Plasma is confined by an axisymmetric multi-cusp magnetic field and biased cathodes are used to drive…
