<p>Plasma expanding in the space along the magnetic filed is well known phenomenon. This plasma device was constructed to investigate the space plasma in laboratory in connection with plasma flows, electron distribution, ion distribution, instability and turbulence. For this purpose, the low-temperature plasma is produced by means of a 13.56 MHz Helicon plasma source at 300-1000 W rf power. The plasma is expanding from the 13.5 cm diameter source into a 150 cm long chamber of 60 cm diameter. Ion energy and its velocity distribution produced by a current-free double layer at the expansion region have been studied by means of retarding field energy analyzers. Furthermore, the effects due to the geometrical shape of the expanding magnetic field in plasma flows have also been investigated.</p><p>Journal of Nepal Physical Society Vol.3(1) 2015: 82-88</p>

Wide Range

We show that large–scale motions of the interstellar gas, such as those associated with galactic density waves, easily develop, over a wide range of scales, shocks and discontinuities which are expected to generate turbulence. The latter is supposed to evoke diffusion of magnetic fields and cosmic rays on scales down to a few parsecs. We suggest that these processes may be of major importance in discussions of interconnections between the observed radio emission of the disks of spiral galaxies and the gas density distribution within them. In particular, we predict that the density of cosmic rays and magnetic field energy must be much less contrasted (on scales of ~1 pc and up to the scales of galactic shocks) than the gas density, hence the synchrotron radio emission is not as contrasted as is predicted under the hypothesis of a fully frozen-in magnetic field.

Cosmic Ray Acceleration

In this brief talk I should like to present a summary of some recent results on the mechanism of X -ray production in extars, with special emphasis on Sco X-1. These results are an outcome of a close collaboration between Professor S. Olbert of M.I.T. and me. As mentioned by Professor Burbidge earlier today, we hypothesize that galactic X-ray sources are in fact entities wherein ‘frozen in’, compressed magnetic field rapidly relaxes by transferring magnetic field energy to ultrarelativistic (u.r.) electrons. Consider a volume of space filled with magnetoactive plasma. For reasons elaborated on elsewhere (Manley & Olbert 1968, 1969) we do not expect the ionized gas to be homogeneous. Rather we expect it to consist of an aggregate of long thin plasmoids acting almost independently of one another. We now postulate the presence of random Alfvén waves (m.h.d. noise) propagating back and forth, along the plasmoids, and inquire into the possibility of charged particle acceleration by interaction with these noisy plasmoids. This is akin to the cosmic ray acceleration mechanism proposed by Fermi, who however, considered only interactions with large, approximately spherical plasmoids.

The Magnetic Field

Based on our previous work, we deduce a general formula for pressure of degenerate and relativistic electrons, Pe, which is suitable for superhigh magnetic fields, discuss the quantization of Landau levels of electrons, and consider the quantum electrodynamic (QED) effects on the equations of states (EOSs) for different matter systems. The main conclusions are as follows: Pe is related to the magnetic field B, matter density ρ, and electron fraction Ye; the stronger the magnetic field, the higher the electron pressure becomes; the high electron pressure could be caused by high Fermi energy of electrons in a superhigh magnetic field; compared with a common radio pulsar, a magnetar could be a more compact oblate spheroid-like deformed neutron star (NS) due to the anisotropic total pressure; and an increase in the maximum mass of a magnetar is expected because of the positive contribution of the magnetic field energy to the EOS of the star.
