Identification of a quasiseparatrix layer in a reconnecting laboratory magnetoplasma.
The concept of quasiseparatrix layers (QSLs) has emerged as a powerful tool to study the connectivity of magnetic field lines undergoing magnetic reconnection in solar flares. Although they have been used principally by the solar physics community until now, QSLs can be employed to shed light on all processes in which reconnection occurs. We present the first application of this theory to an ex...
متن کاملElectron collection by a negatively charged sphere in a collisionless magnetoplasma
Easy-to-evaluate approximate formulas are presented for the repelled-species current collected by a spherical body in a collisionless, magnetized plasma, valid over the full range of ratio of Larmor radius to sphere radius. The form is an appropriate average of the lower and upper bounds obtained by prior analytic arguments. This formulation enables rapid evaluation of the floating potential in...
متن کاملTheory of a stationary current-free double layer in a collisionless plasma.
Current-free double layers can develop in a collisionless, inertia-controlled plasma with two electron populations, expanding in a convergent-divergent nozzle. The double layer characteristics depend on whether they develop at the nozzle divergent side, convergent side, or throat. The divergent-geometry double layer describes faithfully the Hairapetian-Stenzel experiment [Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 1...
متن کاملCollisionless interaction of an energetic laser produced plasma with a large magnetoplasma
We have commissioned a high-energy glass-laser at the Large Plasma Device (LAPD) to study the interaction of a dense laser-produced plasma with a large (17 m) magnetized plasma. First experiments with an energy of the laser blow-off an order of magnitude higher than previous work (Gekelman et al. in J. Geophys. Res. 108(A7):1281, 2003) produced large amplitude Alfvén waves (δB⊥/B0 ≈ 15%). We wi...
متن کاملDicke Superradiance in a magnetoplasma
We present theoretical results for superradiance, i.e. the collective coherent decay of a radiating system, in a semiconductor heterostructure under a strong quantizing magnetic field. We predict a strong peak (‘Dicke-peak’) in the emission intensity as a function of time, which should be observable after a short initial excitation of electrons into the conduction band. This peak has a characte...
