Formation of a spherical plasma liner for plasma-jet-driven magneto-inertial fusion Open
Plasma-jet-driven magneto-inertial fusion is an alternative approach to controlled nuclear fusion, which aims to utilize a line-replaceable dense plasma liner as a repetitive spherical compression driver. In this experiment, first measurem…

Parker Solar Probe Observations of Energetic Particles in the Flank of a Coronal Mass Ejection Close to the Sun Open
We present an event observed by Parker Solar Probe at $\sim$0.2 au on March 2, 2022 in which imaging and \emph{in situ} measurements coincide. During this event, PSP passed through structures on the flank of a streamer blowout CME includin…

The Plasma Instrument for Magnetic Sounding (PIMS) on the Europa Clipper Mission Open
Characterizing Europa’s subsurface ocean is essential for assessing Europa’s habitability. The suite of instruments on the Europa Clipper spacecraft will, among others, magnetically sound Europa’s interior by measuring the ocean’s induced …
Plasma Guns for Magnetized Fuel Targets for PJMIF Open
In plasma jet driven magneto-inertial fusion (PJMIF) an array of discrete supersonic plasma jets is used to form a spherically imploding plasma liner, which then compresses a magnetized plasma target to fusion conditions. With funding from…
Fast Fiber-Coupled Imaging of Low Light Events Open
HyperV Technologies Corp. (HyperV) has developed a fiber-coupled, deep record-length, low light camera head for performing high time resolution spectroscopy on visible emission from plasma events. By coupling the output of a spectrometer t…

Plasma-Jet-Driven Magneto-Inertial Fusion Open
We report that PJMIF is the only embodiment of magneto-inertial fusion that has the unique combination of standoff implosion and high implosion velocity (50 km/s - 150 km/s). It uses inexpensive plasma guns for all plasma formation and imp…
Fast Fiber-Coupled Imaging Devices Open
HyperV Technologies Corp. has successfully designed, built and experimentally demonstrated a full scale 1024 pixel 100 MegaFrames/s fiber coupled camera with 12 or 14 bits, and record lengths of 32K frames, exceeding our original performan…

Experiment to Form and Characterize a Section of a Spherically Imploding Plasma Liner Open
Here, we describe an experiment to form and characterize a section of a spherically imploding plasma liner by merging six supersonic plasma jets that are launched by newly designed contoured-gap coaxial plasma guns. This experiment is a pr…
