The Sun-Earth Connection
An introduction to space plasma physics provided by Auburn University's Space plasma physics Page. Covers the sunearth connection, the sun, solar wind, the magnetospere, and aurorae.
http://www.physics.auburn.edu/~plasma/space/sunearth.html

Extractions: The Sun-Earth Connection The Sun and Earth are intimately connected. Other than the light and heat that we receive from the sun, there are many other things that we also experience in this relationship. First of all, there is more than just empty space beyond Earth's atmosphere; there is an environment of rich, active, electrically charged gases, called plasmas , that the Earth resides in. The origin of these plasmas is the sun, more specifically the solar wind . The most noticeable traces of this plasma environment are the Northern and Southern Lights, or the aurora The activity of the sun is also thought to affect our weather and climate, both long and short term, as solar behavior can last over centuries to mere minutes. Of particular note, the activity of the aurora are closely tied to the activity of dark spots found on the suns surface, called sunspots. In fact, the "Little Ice Age", a period of abnormally low temperatures during the 15th-18th centuries, was also a period when there were very few sunspots. Solar flares are thought to slightly change the density of our atmosphere and may cause blockouts, communications disruptions, and magnetic storms. Solar Physics fusion . Four hydrogen nuclei fuse to form a helium nucleus. About 700 million tons of hydrogen are converted into helium every second, producing 5 million tons of pure energy!

Extractions: The members of the Plasma Physics Group come from the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics and the Department of Physics. The investigations within the group are primarily oriented towards analysis and interpretation of space data. Various problems under investigations are: 1) Studies of magnetic substorms recorded on the GEOS2 satellite are conducted in collaboration with CRPE (Centre de Recherche en Physique de l'Environnement) and the Max-Planck Institute in Lindau. These studies attempt to identify wave modes, conditions at onset and interpretations of the observations by instability models. 2) Low frequency electrostatic waves in the ionospheric E-region have been detected by rocket borne sensors during the ROSE campaign in 1988-1989. We have from the Max-Planck Institute received data for electric field and density fluctuations from these four rockets and a detailed statistical analysis is in progress. 3) Results from the FREJA satellite are under study. The Plasma and Space Group was active in the instrumentation of this spacecraft and are coinvestigators on the F4 wave experiment. The data obtained hitherto have proved to be of exceptionally good quality and are at present being analyzed with emphasis on lower hybrid wave phenomena. The observations seem to invite interpretations in terms of strongly nonlinear wave phenomena, caviton formation in particular, which may be the final stage of wave collapse. This project will rely on international collaboration with scientists in Sweden, in particular.

http://cips.colorado.edu/

Extractions: Weclome to CIPS Message from the Director Research Graduate Application Materials The purpose of the Center for Integrated Plasma Studies (CIPS) is to provide a focal point and forum for the exchange of both educational and research ideas among scientists with these diverse affiliations. Research in plasma physics is extraordinarily broad, encompassing basic physics of plasmas, fusion sciences, space and astrophysics, beam and accelerator physics, laser-matter interactions, and industrial processing. CIPS possesses scientific expertise in all of these areas, and will foster unique new opportunities for sponsored research in interdisciplinary aspects of plasma physics. CIPS sets the guidelines for both undergraduate and graduate education in plasma physics at the University of Colorado, providing research opportunities and guidance for plasma physics doctoral candidates. Modern plasma physics is the study of collective, often nonlinear, electromagnetic processes in ionized gases called plasmas. Plasma physics related research at the University of Colorado is currently carried out primarily in the Departments of Physics, Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences, Applied Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, and Electrical and Computer Engineering. In the community at large, plasma research is conducted at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), NCAR's High Altitude Observatory (HAO), NOAA's Space Environment Laboratories, and at local companies such as Lodestar Corporation and Science Applications International Corporation.

Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor
TFTR experiment that was a large US fusion experiment directed by the Princeton plasma physics Lab. Stopped operation and decomissioned by 2000.
http://www.pppl.gov/projects/pages/tftr.html

Extractions: The Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) operated at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) from 1982 to 1997. TFTR set a number of world records, including a plasma temperature of 510 million degrees centigrade the highest ever produced in a laboratory, and well beyond the 100 million degrees required for commercial fusion. In addition to meeting its physics objectives, TFTR achieved all of its hardware design goals, thus making substantial contributions in many areas of fusion technology development. In December, 1993, TFTR became the world's first magnetic fusion device to perform extensive experiments with plasmas composed of 50/50 deuterium/tritium the fuel mix required for practical fusion power production. Consequently, in 1994, TFTR produced a world-record 10.7 million watts of controlled fusion power, enough to meet the needs of more than 3,000 homes. These experiments also emphasized studies of behavior of alpha particles produced in the deuterium-tritium reactions. The extent to which the alpha particles pass their energy to the plasma is critical to the eventual attainment of sustained fusion.

http://www.strath.ac.uk/physics/research/

Extractions: Department of Physics Research Profile The Department of Physics is strong in both research and teaching. Its research is recognised as internationally excellent, as shown by the award of a 4 rating in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise. Most of the externally-derived research funding is competitively won in peer-reviewed processes and about half of the research income is awarded by the Research Councils, making the Department one of the larger mainstream physics departments in the UK. The research programme supports most of the 100 or so Departmental staff, which can be divided into three roughly equal groups: academic staff, research staff, and support staff. There are also a number of eminent visiting and part-time professors, notably Professor Alain Aspect, Carnegie Centenary Professor in the Department. The Department provides a wide range of degree courses, including Physics, Applied Physics, Laser Physics and Optoelectronics, Mathematics and Physics, Physics and Mathematical Finance (MSci), Physics with Visual Simulation (MSci), Photonics (MSci) and Biophysics (MSci). As well as postgraduate study leading to a PhD/MPhil degree, the Department also offers the MRes qualification, obtainable in one year. An EngD in Photonics is also available for those wishing to follow an industrial career path. A commitment to strategic, as well as to fundamental research, has led to success not only in attracting funds from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the EU, but from a wide range of others, including the Wellcome Trust, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, Defence Research Agency, Royal Society, Nuffield Foundation, British Nuclear Fuels, Hitachi, Joint European Torus, and the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council.

http://www.fmi.fi/research_space/space_2.html

Extractions: The main source of the northern lights, auroras, is electrons and protons from the Sun. These particles bombard the upper atmosphere and lit up atmospheric gases, which is seen as northern lights. Finnish Meteorological Institute is strongly involved in studies of this field from the flux of the particles from the Sun to the phenomena seen on the Earth. Ground based observations, radars and satellites bring information to us what is going on in space and upper atmosphere. Ground based observations mean today magnetic field measurements , and imaging the aurora with digital all-sky cameras Radars provide scientists information of what is happening 100-1000 km above ground level. With instrumentation on board satellites we can make measurements even in the most distant regions. Combining data from the different instruments, detailed temporal and spatial analyses of the ionospheric electrodynamics can be performed. The magnetosphere is fed with energy through the solar wind , originating from the Sun.
