Journal ArticleDOI
Study of driven magnetic reconnection in a laboratory plasma
Masaaki Yamada,Hantao Ji,Scott Hsu,Troy Carter,Russell M. Kulsrud,Norton Bretz,F. C. Jobes,Yasushi Ono,Francis Perkins +8 more
TL;DR: The magnetic reconnection experiment has been constructed to investigate the fundamental physics of magnetic reconnections in a well-controlled laboratory setting as discussed by the authors, which creates an environment satisfying the criteria for a magnetohydrodynamic plasma (S≫1, ρi≪L).
Journal ArticleDOI
Intermittent turbulence and turbulent structures in a linear magnetized plasma
TL;DR: Gekelman et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that the amplitude probability distribution function of the turbulence is strongly skewed, with density depletion events (or “holes”) dominant in the high-density region and density-enhancement events(or "blobs" dominating in the lowdensity region.
Journal ArticleDOI
The upgraded Large Plasma Device, a machine for studying frontier basic plasma physics
Walter Gekelman,Patrick Pribyl,Z. Lucky,M. Drandell,D. Leneman,James Maggs,Stephen Vincena,B. Van Compernolle,Shreekrishna Tripathi,George Morales,Troy Carter,Y. Wang,T. DeHaas +12 more
TL;DR: The strategy of the machine construction, the available diagnostics, the parameters available for experiments, as well as illustrations of several experiments are presented here.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of lower-hybrid drift turbulence in a reconnecting current sheet.
TL;DR: The measurements reveal the presence of lower-hybrid-frequency-range fluctuations on the edge of current sheets produced in the magnetic reconnection experiment (MRX), and suggest that the LHDI turbulence alone cannot explain the observed fast reconnection rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurements of core electron temperature and density fluctuations in DIII-D and comparison to nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations
Anne White,L. W. Schmitz,George McKee,Christopher Holland,W. A. Peebles,Troy Carter,Morgan Shafer,Max E Austin,K. H. Burrell,Jeff Candy,J.C. DeBoo,E. J. Doyle,M. A. Makowski,Ron Prater,T. L. Rhodes,G. M. Staebler,George Tynan,R. E. Waltz,G. Wang +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, the radial profiles of two fluctuation fields were measured and compared to nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations in neutral beam-heated, sawtooth-free low confinement mode (L-mode) plasmas in DIII-D [J. L. Luxon, Nucl. Fusion 42, 614].
