High-Efficiency Plasma Source Using a Magnetic Mirror Trap for Miniature-Ion Pumps [PDF]
Sensors, 2023 In this study, we design a highly efficient plasma source using a magnetic mirror trap with two opposing permanent magnets for a miniature high-efficiency ion pump.

The mirror mode: a “superconducting” space plasma analogue [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2018 We examine the physics of the magnetic mirror mode in its final state of saturation, the thermodynamic equilibrium, to demonstrate that the mirror mode is the analogue of a superconducting effect in a classical anisotropic-pressure space plasma.

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2018 Present experimental and astrophysical limits do not exclude that the neutron (n) oscillation into mirror neutron ($$n'$$ n′ ), a sterile state exactly degenerate in mass with the neutron, can be a very fast process, in fact faster than the neutron decay

Revisiting mirror modes in the plasma environment of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2023 The plasma environment of comet 67P provides a unique laboratory to study plasma phenomena in the interplanetary medium. There, waves are generated which help the plasma relax back to stability through wave–particle interactions, transferring energy from

Two types of mirror mode waves in the Kronian magnetosheath
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2023 A mirror mode wave is a fundamental magnetic structure in the planetary space environment that is persistently compressed by solar wind, especially in the magnetosheath.

Roles of electrons and ions in formation of the current in mirror-mode structures in the terrestrial plasma sheet: Magnetospheric Multiscale observations [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2020 Mirror-mode structures widely exist in various space plasma environments. Here, we investigate a train of mirror-mode structures in the terrestrial plasma sheet on 11 August 2017 based on the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission.

A search for neutron to mirror-neutron oscillations using the nEDM apparatus at PSI
Physics Letters B, 2021 It has been proposed that there could be a mirror copy of the standard model particles, restoring the parity symmetry in the weak interaction on the global level. Oscillations between a neutral standard model particle, such as the neutron, and its mirror

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Electron cyclotron harmonic (ECH) waves are one of the most common plasma waves in the Earth's magnetosphere, and they are considered to be excited by the electron loss‐cone distributions near the magnetic equator.

Confinement of non-neutral proton plasma within a bent magnetic mirror field: 3D PIC simulation
AIP Advances, 2023 We conducted a study on the confinement properties of non-neutral proton plasma in an asymmetric magnetic mirror using the three-dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell simulation method.

Large magnetic liquid mirrors [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2006 We present a new class of large liquid mirrors that use a ferrofluid covered by a reflecting layer of nanoparticles. The surface of the mirror is shaped by several concentric loops of current carrying coils. We first validate our theoretical models by comparing the theoretical predictions to interferometric measurements of a small prototype, finding ...
