Cornell University - Laboratory of Plasma Studies This broad range is fundamental to understanding different characteristics of plasmas, from microscopic to macroscopic scales.

LPS carries out a wide range of fundamental and applied research in pulsed-power-driven plasma physics including research related to inertial confinement fusion and astrophysics investigations. The integration between experiment, computation and theory is an important trait of this lab.

This is a photo of the XUV emission of an exploding 25 μm diameter copper wire connected in series to two magnetic field coils on the two ends driven by a COBRA current pulse. This shot is a part of a study on the dynamics of the wire plasma in a magnetic mirror configuration. Kink instability can be seen to develop over the 30 ns period covered by the four images (chronologically order is clockwise starting from the top right image). Photo and work credit Chiatai Chen.
