Direct measurement of electron sloshing of an inertial Alfvén wave
We report laboratory measurements of the parallel current carried by suprathermal electrons associated with inertial Alfvén wave excitation in the laboratory. The experiments presented here use a novel wave absorption diagnostic that measures the suprathermal tails of the electron distribution parallel to the mean magnetic field. The diagnostic is used to probe the electron distribution as an i...
متن کاملMeasurements of inertial limit Alfvén wave dispersion for finite perpendicular wave number.
Measurements of the dispersion relation for shear Alfvén waves as a function of perpendicular wave number are reported for the inertial regime for which V{A}>V{Te}. The parallel phase velocity and damping are determined as k{ perpendicular} varies and the measurements are compared to theoretical predictions. The comparison shows that the best agreement between theory and experiment is achieved ...
متن کاملLaboratory realization of an Alfvén wave maser.
It is demonstrated that a frequency selective Alfvén-wave resonator can be realized by applying a nonuniform magnetic field to a plasma region bounded between a cathode and a semitransparent mesh anode. When a current threshold is exceeded, selective amplification results in a highly coherent, large amplitude wave that propagates into an adjacent plasma column.
