A Reliable Millimeter-Wave Quadrature Interferometer
M. Gilmore, W. Gekelman, K. Reiling +1
A simple, low-cost millimeter-wave (70 GHz) interferometer with a phase accuracy better than plus or minur 2 degrees, and a response time of 10 ns is described. The simplicity of t…
Experimental Study of Ion Heating in Obliquely Merging Hypersonic Plasma Jets
Samuel J Langendorf, Kevin C Yates, Scott C Hsu +2
In this experiment, we measure ion temperature evolution of collisional plasma shocks and colliding supersonic plasma flows across a range of species (Ar, Kr, Xe, N), Mach numbers,…
Experimental Measurements of Ion Heating in Collisional Plasma Shocks and Interpenetrating Supersonic Plasma Flows
Samuel J. Langendorf, Kevin C. Yates, Scott C. Hsu +2
We present time-resolved measurements of ion heating due to collisional plasma shocks and interpenetrating supersonic plasma flows, which are formed by the oblique merging of two c…
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…
Experiment to Form and Characterize a Section of a Spherically Imploding Plasma Liner
S. C. Hsu, S. J. Langendorf, K. C. Yates +13
We describe an experiment to form and characterize a section of a spherically imploding plasma liner by merging six supersonic plasma jets that are launched by newly designed conto…
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…
