Nonstationary behavior of collisionless shocks
(American Physical Society, 1972-01-03)
Laboratory measurements indicate that a collisionless shock wave formed in a plasma-wind-
tunnel device is nonstationary on the time scale of the ion gyroperiod. This behavior
suggests a possible interpretation of recent ...
Laboratory Simulation of Artificial Plasma Clouds in the Ionosphere
(American Geophysical Union, 1973)
The results of an experiment to model the behavior of artificial plasma clouds in the ionosphere are presented. The formation of field-aligned structure or striations is frequently observed. The appearance of this structure ...
Single particle and collective effects observed in the electron beam of the Maryland era experiment
(IEEE, 1975-06)
The formation of rotating, relativistic electron
beams with properties suitable for collective ion
acceleration has been studied under a variety of
experimental conditions. A straight, cylindrical,
relativistic electron ...
Radial and axial compression of a hollow electron beam using an asymmetric magnetic cusp
(American Institute of Physics, 1977-09)
The injection of hollow. relativistic electron beams through a narrow asymmetric magnetic cusp field has
been investigated analytically. Preliminary experimental results are in good agreement with the analytical
theory.
Controlled collection field propagation for ion acceleration using a slow wave structure
(IEEE, 1977-06)
Acceleration of ions by intense relativistic
electron beams in a vacuum has been investigated using
the injector of the Maryland ERA project. Proton
energies above 16 MeV and proton beam currents above
10 kA have been ...
Ion thermalization in strong, high-beta shocks
(1972-07-04)
Study of collective ion acceleration in vacuum
(American Institute of Physics, 1979-05)
Theoretical and experimental studies of the collective acceleration of ions by a linear
electron beam in an evacuated drift tube are presented. A one-dimensional theoretical
model of the collective acceleration process ...
Relativistic electron dynamics in a cusped magnetic field with a downstream drift region
(American Institute of Physics, 1975-12)
Studies are reported of the motion of relativistic electrons injected first through a narrow magnetic cusp
and then into a downstream region in which the particle motion is assumed to be adiabatic. Experiments
performed ...
Ion energy relaxation in strong shocks
(1972-11-15)
