Theoretical analysis of driven magnetic reconnection experiments
In this paper we present a theoretical framework for the Magnetic Reconnection Experiment (MRX) [M. Yamada et al., Bull. Am. Phys. Soc. 40, 1877 (1995)] in order to understand the basic physics of the...

Two-temperature relaxation in nonideal partially ionized plasmas
Evolution equations for the coupled relaxation of densities and temperatures for the components in nonideal partially ionized plasmas are given. In these equations many-body effects, such as screening...

The quasi-thermal electrostatic field fluctuations of a stable unmagnetized electron beam-plasma system is considered. Both the beam and the background plasma are modeled as isotropic Maxwellians. Both the normal modes of the plasma and the contributions from other modes are considered. The dependence of these fluctuations on beam velocity, density, and temperature are examined. The implications of these waves for real beam-plasma systems are also discussed. ©1996 American Institute of Physics.
