Book Synopsis Plasma Physics of the Local Cosmos by : National Research Council
Download or read book Plasma Physics of the Local Cosmos written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-06-06 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar and space physics is the study of solar system phenomena that occur in the plasma state. Examples include sunspots, the solar wind, planetary magnetospheres, radiation belts, and the aurora. While each is a distinct phenomenon, there are commonalities among them. To help define and systematize these universal aspects of the field of space physics, the National Research Council was asked by NASA's Office of Space Science to provide a scientific assessment and strategy for the study of magnetized plasmas in the solar system. This report presents that assessment. It covers a number of important research goals for solar and space physics. The report is complementary to the NRC report, The Sun to the Earthâ€"and Beyond: A Decadal Research Strategy for Solar and Space Physics, which presents priorities and strategies for future program activities.

Book Synopsis Investigation of the Compression of Magnetized Plasma and Magnetic Flux by : Dimitry Mikitchuk
Download or read book Investigation of the Compression of Magnetized Plasma and Magnetic Flux written by Dimitry Mikitchuk and published by Springer. This book was released on 2020-08-14 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present research studies the fundamental physics occurring during the magnetic flux and magnetized plasma compression by plasma implosion. This subject is relevant to numerous studies in laboratory and space plasmas. Recently, it has attracted particular interest due to the advances in producing high-energy-density plasmas in fusion-oriented experiments, based on the approach of magnetized plasma compression. The studied configuration consists of a cylindrical gas-puff shell with pre-embedded axial magnetic field that pre-fills the anode-cathode gap. Subsequently, axial pulsed current is driven through the plasma generating an azimuthal magnetic field that compresses the plasma and the axial magnetic field embedded in it. A key parameter for the understanding of the physics occurring during the magnetized plasma compression is the evolution and distribution of the axial and azimuthal magnetic fields. Here, for the first time ever, both fields are measured simultaneously employing non-invasive spectroscopic methods that are based on the polarization properties of the Zeeman effect. These measurements reveal unexpected results of the current distribution and the nature of the equilibrium between the axial and azimuthal fields. These observations show that a large part of the current does not flow in the imploding plasma, rather it flows through a low-density plasma residing at large radii. The development of a force-free current configuration is suggested to explain this phenomenon. Previously unpredicted observations in higher-power imploding-magnetized-plasma experiments, including recent unexplained structures observed in the Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion experiment, may be connected to the present discovery.

Book Synopsis Plasma: The Fourth State of Matter by : D. Frank-Kamenetskii
Download or read book Plasma: The Fourth State of Matter written by D. Frank-Kamenetskii and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for this book originated with the late Igor Vasil 'evich Kurchatov. He suggested to the author the need for a comprehen sive presentation of the fundamental ideas of plasma physics with out c'omplicated mathematics. This task has not been an easy one. In order to clarify the physical nature of plasma phenomena with out recourse to intricate mathematical expressions it is neces sary to think problems through very carefully. Thus, the book did not come into being by inspiration, but required a considerable ef fort. The aim of the book is to provide a beginning reader with an elementary knowledge of plasma physics. The book is primar ily written for engineers and technicians; however, we have also tried to make it intelligible to the reader whose knowledge ofphys ics is at the advanced-freshman level. To understand the book it is also necessary to have a working knowledge of electricity and magnetism of the kind available in present-:day programs in junior colleges. This book is not intended for light reading. It is designed for the reader for whom plasma physics will be a continuing in terest. We have confidence that such a reader will want to broad en his knowledge by consulting more specialized literature. Thus, we not only include simple expressions but also special important terms.
Book Synopsis Plasma Behavior in a Romac Magnetic Field by : L. S. Combes
Download or read book Plasma Behavior in a Romac Magnetic Field written by L. S. Combes and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A PLASMA CONTAINMENT DEVICE ENTITLED ROMAC (ROTATED MAGNETIC CUSP) WASCONSTRUCTED. AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO COMBINE THE BASIC STABILITY ADVANTAGES OF FOUR-POLE LINE CUSP WITH THE LOW LOSS RATE OF A MORROR FIELD. THE MAGNETIC FIELD FOR ROMAC WAS PRODUCED BY ADDING A MIRROR FIELD ORTHONGONALLY TO THE CUSP FIELD. USING PULSE TECHNIQUES AN IONIZED GAS WAS CREATED WITHIN A BICONICAL CHAMBER AND THE ROMAC MAGNETIC FIELD PRODUCED TRANSIENTLY WITH THE MIRROR FIELD ALONG THE AXIS OF THE CHAMBER(Z AXIS) AND THE CUSP FIELD IN THE X-Y PLANE. MEASUREMENTS WITH MAGNETIC PROBES AND LIGHT PIPES SHOW THAT A DISTURBANCE IN THE MAGNETIC FIELD, ACCOMPANIED BY AN INCREASE IN LIGHT INTENSITY, STARTED AT THE PERIPHERY OF THE PLASMA CHAMBER AND WAS PROPAGATED INWARD AT TWO VELOCITIES TO THE CENTRAL AXIS. DETAILED MEASUREMENTS WERE MADE ON THE MAGNETIC FIELD CONFIGURATION. THESE INDICATE THAT, AT THE TIME THE SECOND WAVE ARRIVED AT THE AXIS, THE MIRROR HIELD HAD BEEN TO A LARGE EXTENT SEPARATED FROM THE CUSP FIELD SO THAT MOSTLY MIRROR FIELD EXISTED THROUGHOUT THE CENTRAL REGION, WHILE MOSTLY CUSP FIELD EXISTED IN THE OUTER REGION. THE INTENSITY OF THE FIELD AT THIS TIME IN THE CENTRAL REGION INDICATES THAT THE CUSP FIELD WAS COMPRESSING THE PLASMA AND MIRRORFIELD IN THIS REGION WERE EVEN LARGER THAN THE MAXIMUM INTENSITY OF THE APPLIED MIRROR FIELD.

This book was released on 2001-05-07 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this assessment of the fusion energy sciences program of the Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Science is to evaluate the quality of the research program and to provide guidance for the future program strategy aimed at strengthening the research component of the program. The committee focused its review of the fusion program on magnetic confinement, or magnetic fusion energy (MFE), and touched only briefly on inertial fusion energy (IFE), because MFE-relevant research accounts for roughly 95 percent of the funding in the Office of Science's fusion program. Unless otherwise noted, all references to fusion in this report should be assumed to refer to magnetic fusion. Fusion research carried out in the United States under the sponsorship of the Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (OFES) has made remarkable strides over the years and recently passed several important milestones. For example, weakly burning plasmas with temperatures greatly exceeding those on the surface of the Sun have been created and diagnosed. Significant progress has been made in understanding and controlling instabilities and turbulence in plasma fusion experiments, thereby facilitating improved plasma confinement-remotely controlling turbulence in a 100-million-degree medium is a premier scientific achievement by any measure. Theory and modeling are now able to provide useful insights into instabilities and to guide experiments. Experiments and associated diagnostics are now able to extract enough information about the processes occurring in high-temperature plasmas to guide further developments in theory and modeling. Many of the major experimental and theoretical tools that have been developed are now converging to produce a qualitative change in the program's approach to scientific discovery. The U.S. program has traditionally been an important source of innovation and discovery for the international fusion energy effort. The goal of understanding at a fundamental level the physical processes governing observed plasma behavior has been a distinguishing feature of the program.
