Kinetic Simulations Verifying Reconnection Rates Measured in the Laboratory, Spanning the Ion-Coupled to Near Electron-Only Regimes
Samuel Greess, Jan Egedal, Adam Stanier +6
The rate of reconnection characterizes how quickly flux and mass can move into and out of the reconnection region. In the Terrestrial Reconnection EXperiment (TREX), the rate at wh…
Laboratory verification of electron-scale reconnection regions modulated by a three-dimensional instability
S. Greess, J. Egedal, A. Stanier +9
During magnetic reconnection in collisionless space plasma, the electron fluid decouples from the magnetic field within narrow current layers, and theoretical models for this proce…
A drift kinetic model for the expander region of a magnetic mirror
Blake A. Wetherton, Ari Le, Jan Egedal +4
We present a drift kinetic model for the free expansion of a thermal plasma out of a magnetic nozzle. This problem relates to plasma space propulsion systems, natural environments…
Regulation of the Normalized Rate of Driven Magnetic Reconnection through Shocked Flux Pileup
J. Olson, J. Egedal, M. Clark +7
Magnetic reconnection is explored on the Terrestrial Reconnection Experiment (TREX) for asymmetric inflow conditions and in a configuration where the absolute rate of reconnection…
Laminar and Turbulent Plasmoid Ejection in a Laboratory Parker Spiral Current Sheet
Ethan E. Peterson, Douglass A. Endrizzi, Michael Clark +8
Quasi-periodic plasmoid formation at the tip of magnetic streamer structures is observed to occur in experiments on the Big Red Ball as well as in simulations of these experiments…
Ion heating and flow driven by an Instability found in Plasma Couette Flow
J. Milhone, K. Flanagan, J. Egedal +5
We present the first observation of instability in weakly magnetized, pressure dominated plasma Couette flow firmly in the Hall regime. Strong Hall currents couple to a low frequen…
