Abstract The National Science Foundation's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) will
revolutionize our ability to measure, understand, and model the basic physical processes …

A PIN-diode-based 1D x-ray camera and a scintillator-based 1D x-ray camera, both with a
microsecond to submicrosecond time resolution, have been developed to perform time …

A comprehensive overview of two decades of Caltech experiments relevant to solar corona
physics is presented. The extent to which the experiments scale to the solar corona, the …

We show how some different fundamental plasma processes-the ideal kink instability,
magnetic reconnection and magnetohydrodynamic oscillations-can be causally linked. This …

As an obstacle in high-performance discharge in future fusion devices, disruptions may do
great damages to the reactors through causing strong electromagnetic forces, heat loads …

Fast magnetic reconnection involving non-MHD microscale physics is believed to underlie
both solar eruptions and laboratory plasma current disruptions. While there is extensive …

The Caltech plasma jet experiment launches a laboratory plasma jet that is analogous to an
astrophysical jet. Even though the temperature of the plasma jet is around 2 eV, 6 keV X …

We show how some different fundamental plasma processes-the ideal kink instability,
magnetic reconnection and magnetohydrodynamic oscillations-can be causally linked. This …

Magnetic reconnection is a plasma phenomenon in which opposing magnetic fields
annihilate and release their magnetic energy into other forms of energy. In this thesis …
