Experimental Studies of Plasma Turbulence, Anisotropic Resistivity, and Particle Diffusion across a Magnetic Field

Abstract: We have excited ion acoustic turbulence having variable transverse and parallel wave vectors 10-1

Turbulent resistivity in hydrogen and noble-gas plasmas

TL;DR: In this paper, the resistivity of a plasma that has become turbulent under the influence of a high electric field is measured and a linear dependence is found between resistivity and the applied electric field.

Growth rate, saturation, and radial transport measurements for the trapped ion instability

TL;DR: In this paper, a gated feedback diagnostic allows the direct measurement of the dissipative trapped ion instability (DTII) linear growth rate, measured as a function of trapped fraction, keeping all other parameters fixed, and clearly displays the scaling with trapped fraction predicted by the radially local linear dispersion relation.

Parametric instabilities and wave coupling in Alfvén simple waves

TL;DR: In this article, a wave coupling formalism for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves in a non-uniform background flow is used to study parametric instabilities of the large-amplitude, circularly polarized, simple plane Alfven wave in one Cartesian space dimension.

Transient non-classical transport in the hollow cathode plume I: measurements of time-varying electron collision frequency

TL;DR: In this paper, the time-resolved measurements of ion acoustic turbulence are used to infer the effective collision frequency on the timescale of this underlying wave, and it is shown that the observed variation in the electron collision frequency cannot be described by classical collisional processes, i.e., Coulomb and neutral collisions, but rather is well represented by the changes in the anomalous collision frequency due to the turbulence.
