Collisionless Larmor Coupling and Blob Formation in a Laser-Plasma Expanding into a Magnetized Ambient Plasma
Lucas Rovige, Robert S. Dorst, Ari Le +8
Collisionless Larmor coupling is a fundamental process in space and astrophysical plasmas that enables momentum transfer between an expanding plasma and a magnetized ambient medium…
Image rotation in plasmas
Renaud Gueroult, Shreekrishna K. Tripathi, Jia Han +3
Because of the speed of light compared to material motion, the dragging of light is difficult to observe under laboratory conditions. Here we report on the first observation of ima…
Excitation of whistler-mode waves by an electron temperature anisotropy in a laboratory plasma
Donglai Ma, Xin An, Jia Han +6
Naturally-occurring whistler-mode waves in near-Earth space play a crucial role in accelerating electrons to relativistic energies and scattering them in pitch angle, driving their…
Measurement of energy reduction by inertial Alfvén waves propagating through parallel gradients in the Alfvén speed
Garima Joshi, Sayak Bose, Troy Carter +4
We have studied the propagation of inertial Alfvén waves through parallel gradients in the Alfvén speed using the Large Plasma Device at the University of California, Los Angeles…
