Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic reconnection from a multiscale instability cascade.
Auna Moser,Paul Bellan +1 more
TL;DR: Observations resolve the full three-dimensional dynamics and give insight into the frequently impulsive nature of reconnection in space and laboratory plasmas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental characterization of the stagnation layer between two obliquely merging supersonic plasma jets.
TL;DR: In this paper, the stagnation layer between two obliquely merging supersonic plasma jets is characterized by spatially resolved measurements, which are consistent with collisional oblique shocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
First experimental tests of a new small angle slot divertor on DIII-D
Houyang Guo,Huiqian Wang,J.G. Watkins,L. Casali,B. Covele,Auna Moser,T.H. Osborne,Cameron Samuell,Morgan Shafer,P.C. Stangeby,Daniel Thomas,J.A. Boedo,R. J. Buttery,R. J. Groebner,D. N. Hill,L. Holland,A.W. Hyatt,A.E. Jaervinen,A.G. Kellman,L.L. Lao,C.J. Lasnier,A.W. Leonard,Christopher W. Murphy,J. Ren,Chaofeng Sang,Aaron Sontag,T. S. Taylor +26 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a small angle slot (SAS) divertor concept was developed to enhance neutral cooling across the divertor target by coupling a closed slot structure with appropriate target shaping.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlling marginally detached divertor plasmas
David Eldon,David Eldon,Egemen Kolemen,J.L. Barton,A.R. Briesemeister,D.A. Humphreys,A.W. Leonard,R. Maingi,M. A. Makowski,Adam McLean,Auna Moser,P.C. Stangeby +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new control system at DIII-D has stabilized the inter-ELM detached divertor plasma state for H-mode in close proximity to the threshold for reattachment, thus demonstrating the ability to maintain detachment with minimal gas puffing.
Journal ArticleDOI
SOLPS modeling of the effect on plasma detachment of closing the lower divertor in DIII-D
Chaofeng Sang,Chaofeng Sang,P.C. Stangeby,Houyang Guo,A.W. Leonard,B. Covele,L.L. Lao,Auna Moser,Daniel Thomas +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of tightly closing the lower divertor in DIII-D on the achievement of cold dissipative/detached divertor conditions was investigated, showing that the tightly closed divertor greatly improves trapping of recycling neutrals, thereby increasing radiative and charge exchange losses in the divertor and reducing the electron temperature.
