Energetic particles and magnetohydrodynamic activity in the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment
Results from the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment ~SSX! @M. R. Brown, Phys. Plasmas 6, 1717 ~1999!# indicate that formation and partial merging of two spheromak plasmas can be described well by a magnetohydrodynamic ~MHD! picture in which there is substantial evolution towards force free states within each vessel, while reconnection activity, also described reasonably well by MHD, occurs in the ...
متن کاملNumerical modeling of magnetohydrodynamic activity in the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment
Results from a three-dimensional axisymmetric resistive magnetohydrodynamic ~MHD! simulation are compared to experimental data from the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment ~SSX! @M. R. Brown, Phys. Plasmas 6, 1717 ~1999!#. The MHD simulation is run under conditions and with dimensionless parameters similar to the experiment ~Lundquist number S51000, plasma beta b 50.1). The simulation is shown to r...
متن کاملEnergetic particles from three-dimensional magnetic reconnection events in the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment
Measurements are presented from the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment ~SSX! @M. R. Brown, Phys. Plasmas 6, 1717 ~1999!# showing a population of superthermal, super-Alfvénic ions with Ē >90 eV and Emax>200 eV accelerated by reconnection activity in three-dimensional magnetic structures. These energetic ions are temporally and spatially correlated with three-dimensional magnetic reconnection events...

متن کاملSpheromak merging and field reversed configuration formation at the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment
The initial results of coaxial coand counter-helicity spheromak merging studies at the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment ~SSX! @M. R. Brown, Phys. Plasmas 6, 1717 ~1999!# are reported. In its new configuration, SSX is optimized to study field reversed configuration ~FRC! formation and stability by counter-helicity spheromak merging. A pair of midplane coils magnetically restricts the merging proc...
