The emission dynamics of a vacuum spark with a peak current of ~50 kA in the wavelength range of λ = 5–40 nm is analyzed. The radiation was detected by means of the microchannel-plate detectors with a frame temporal resolution of 20 ns. The technique of simultaneous acquisition of the spatial distribution and spectrograms of plasma emission allowed resolving characteristic stages of discharge development. At the initial stage (200–300 ns), strong emission of multiply charged iron ions Fe V – Fe VIII is detected. This emission disappears later (300–400 ns) and reappears again after 400 ns. The possible role of runaway electrons in the described phenomenon is discussed. The found regime of the discharge can be used upon development of the radiation sources in the extreme UV range.

Описана установка для получения демпфированного вакуумного разряда с пиковым током 18 kA и длительностью меньше 1 μs. В таком разряде реализуется ранее обнаруженное явление возникновения многозарядных ионов в вакуумном разряде в условиях отсутствия пинчевания на стадии формирования разрядного столба плазмы. Основная идея заключается в быстром прекращении разрядного тока после этой стадии, что может позволить реализовать ...

We present the first implementation of modulation transfer spectroscopy (MTS) on the D1 line of 7 Li, carried
out in a compact heat-pipe vapor cell with cold windows. By varying the pump and probe intensities and
polarization configurations, we systematically map the MTS error-signal amplitude, effective linewidth, and
slope for the ground-state crossover resonance 𝐹 = 1 × ...

The investigation of mechanisms responsible for the heating of cold solar wind electrons around the Earth’s bow shock is an important problem in heliospheric plasma physics because such heating is vitally required to run the shock drift acceleration at the bow shock. The prospective mechanism for electron heating is magnetic pumping, which considers electron adiabatic ...

Whistler-mode waves are one of the most intense electromagnetic waves in the planetary magnetospheres. These waves are responsible for energetic electron losses into the atmosphere and for electron acceleration up to relativistic energies. Generation of whistler-mode waves is typically attributed to the thermal electron anisotropy. The anisotropy corresponding to the marginal stability for whistler-mode waves ...

In the fusion community, the use of high performance computing (HPC) has been mostly dominated by heavy-duty plasma simulations, such as those based on particle-in-cell and gyrokinetic codes. However, there has been a growing interest in applying machine learning for knowledge discovery on top of large amounts of experimental data collected from fusion devices. In ...

Alpha particles with energies on the order of megaelectronvolts will be the main source of plasma heating in future magnetic confinement fusion reactors. Instead of heating fuel ions, most of the energy of alpha particles is transferred to electrons in the plasma. Furthermore, alpha particles can also excite Alfvénic instabilities, which were previously considered to ...

In nuclear fusion reactors, plasmas are heated to very high temperatures of more than 100 million kelvin and, in so-called tokamaks, they are confined by magnetic fields in the shape of a torus. Light nuclei, such as deuterium and tritium, undergo a fusion reaction that releases energy, making fusion a promising option for a sustainable ...

Recent observations of hot plasma in Earth's magnetotail and magnetosheath demonstrate nonlinear sub-ion scale magnetic holes, spatially localized dips of magnetic field intensity. These structures resemble magnetosonic solitary waves, but do not include any significant density perturbations. Instead, the magnetic field depression is balanced by hot electron pressure. This study aims to investigate linear modes ...

The kinetics of and O− ions was addressed in air plasma in a rapidly time-varying electric field that is typical for nanosecond pulsed surface dielectric barrier discharges. Self-consistent sets of cross-sections for these ions in collisions with O2 and N2 molecules were developed. The Monte Carlo technique was used to calculate ion energy distribution, mean ion energy and reaction ...

One of the most important sources of magnetospheric plasma is particle entry through the distant magnetotail boundary, the nightside magnetopause. This entry mechanism depends on the magnetopause configuration. Off the equator, the strong lobe magnetic field renders the magnetopause a tangential or a rotational discontinuity, and thus the magnetosheath field orientation predominantly controls particle entry ...

Self-focusing of cw laser beam in a rubidium atomic vapor was studied. The beam radius and power at the entrance of a rubidium vapor cell were variable parameters. A steep grow of the self-focusing threshold power for the small beam radius (≤ 30 μ m) was observed. Our experimental data are in a qualitative agreement ...

Abstract—Within the axisymmetric MHD model of the solar wind, the magnetic field of the Sun has been analyzed in two phases of the solar cycle: the minimum activity, when the dipole magnetic field dominates and the maximum activity, when the quadrupole field predominates. It has been shown that during the period of maximum solar activity, ...

В рамках осесимметричной МГД-модели солнечного ветра проведен анализ магнитного поля Солнца в двух фазах солнечного цикла: минимума активности, когда доминирует дипольное магнитное поле и максимума, когда преобладает квадрупольное поле. Показано, что в период максимума солнечной активности гелиосферный токовый слой приобретает конусообразную форму и смещается в область высоких широт до 30 градусов над плоскостью эклиптики. В противоположном ...
