Constraints on the Small-scale Power Spectrum of Density Fluctuations from High-redshift Gamma-ray Bursts
Cosmological models that include suppression of the power spectrum of density fluctuations on small scales exhibit an exponential reduction of high–redshift, non–linear structures, including a reduction in the rate of gamma ray bursts (GRBs). Here we quantify the constraints that the detection of distant GRBs would place on structure formation models with reduced small–scale power. We compute t...
متن کاملDensity limits in toroidal plasmas
In addition to the operational limits imposed by MHD stability on plasma current and pressure, an independent limit on plasma density is observed in confined toroidal plasmas. This review attempts to summarize recent work on the phenomenology and physics of the density limit. Perhaps the most surprising result is that all of the toroidal confinement devices considered operate in similar ranges ...
متن کاملToroidal momentum pinch velocity due to the coriolis drift effect on small scale instabilities in a toroidal plasma.
In this Letter, the influence of the "Coriolis drift" on small scale instabilities in toroidal plasmas is shown to generate a toroidal momentum pinch velocity. Such a pinch results because the Coriolis drift generates a coupling between the density and temperature perturbations on the one hand and the perturbed parallel flow velocity on the other. A simple fluid model is used to highlight the p...

متن کاملFluctuations in the Enormous Toroidal Plasma Device at UCLA
Turbulence and transport across magnetic field lines disrupt plasma confinement, which is particularly troublesome in toroidal geometries potentially useful for fusion energy. We investigate fluctuations of a helium plasma in the Enormous Toroidal Plasma Device (ETPD) at UCLA using 4-tip Langmuir probes to measure potential and ion saturation current. ETPD is a simple magnetized torus with majo...
