Experiments in Nonneutral Plasma Physics using Penning-Malmberg traps.


*

CAMV

CAMV is an electron plasma apparatus which uses a CCD camera as its primary diagnostic, for studies of near-ideal 2-dimensional fluid flows.

*

IV

IV is an ion plasma apparatus which uses laser induced fluorescence to manipulate and track Mg+ ions.

*

EV

EV is an electron plasma apparatus used for measurement of viscous transport to 3D equilibrium states.

(CV)

The CV cryogenic electron plasma apparatus has been de-commissioned. CV accessed the highly-magnetized electron plasma regime, with temperatures as low as 10 Kelvin, and magnetic fields to 6 Tesla. Both IV and CamV now perform experiments in similar regimes.
