Laboratory experiments provide a valuable complement to explore the fundamental physics of space plasmas without the limitations inherent to spacecraft measurements. Specifically …
Particle velocity distributions measured in the weakly collisional solar wind are frequently found to be non-Maxwellian, but how these non-Maxwellian distributions impact the physics …

Alfvén wave collisions are the primary building blocks of the non-relativistic turbulence that permeates the heliosphere and low-to moderate-energy astrophysical systems. However …
S Dorfman, TA Carter - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
A shear Alfvén wave parametric instability is observed for the first time in the laboratory. When a single finite ω/Ω i kinetic Alfvén wave (KAW) is launched in the Large Plasma …
JL Verniero, GG Howes, KG Klein - Journal of plasma physics, 2018 - cambridge.org
In space and astrophysical plasmas, turbulence is responsible for transferring energy from large scales driven by violent events or instabilities, to smaller scales where turbulent …
