Sheared-flow induced confinement transition in a linear magnetized plasma
A magnetized plasma cylinder (12 cm in diameter) is induced by an annular shape obstacle at the Large Plasma Device [W. Gekelman, H. Pfister, Z. Lucky, J. Bamber, D. Leneman, and J. Maggs, Rev. Sci. Instrum. 62, 2875 (1991)]. Sheared azimuthal flow is driven at the edge of the plasma cylinder through edge biasing. Strong fluctuations of density and potential (dn=n ed/=kTe 0:5) are observed at t...

متن کاملRadiative neutrino transition ν → νγ in strongly magnetized plasma
The influence of strongly magnetized electron-positron plasma on the ra-diative neutrino transition ν → νγ is investigated. The probability and mean losses of the neutrino energy and momentum are calculated taking account of the photon dispersion and large radiative corrections near the resonance. It is shown that the combined effect of plasma and strong magnetic field decreases the probability...
متن کاملBifurcation and Lorentz-factor scaling of relativistic magnetized plasma expansion.
We report the long-term results of 2 1/2-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of the relativistic expansion of strongly magnetized electron-positron plasmas. When the simulation is carried to >150 light-crossing time of the initial plasma, the plasma pulse exhibits a number of remarkable properties. These include the repeated bifurcation of the pulse profile, development of a power-law mome...
متن کاملDeduction of plasma ow in a collisional un-magnetized plasma
An argon plasma generated by a torch arc discharge with pressure of 50 torr and power of 800 watts is characterized by a single and Mach probes. A uid model for the owing un-magnetized plasma with the generic two-dimensional feature is established by taking moment of one-dimensional Boltzmann transport equation with contribution of ionization and ion-neutral collisions. Using a new relation b...
