About CIPS
The Center for Integrated Plasma
Studies (CIPS) is a research center at
University of Colorado at Boulder,
CO. Situated in the Duane Physics
Complex (see maps and photos on
pp. 5-6), its main office is on the 8th
floor of the Gamow Tower.
The center first came into being in
1993, in order to consolidate plasma
research on campus and in the Boulder scientific community at large.
Ever since the first days of its existence it has hosted many scholars from
all over the world. In 2002, its 9th
year, CIPS was home to 7 Fellows, 15
Members, 18 Scientist Associates, 20
graduate and undergraduate students, as well as other staff, which
altogether made 61 regular and temporary employees. Aside from independent researchers, CIPS’s scholars
constitute a number of research
groups, each responsible for its own
current projects. Our scholars make
abundant use of a number of highly
specialised laboratories across the
department.
CIPS is funded by research grants
received from NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration),
NSF (National Science Foundation),
and DOE (Department of Energy), as
well as other agencies.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Center for Integrated Plasma Studies is to foster plasma and beam
related science and research. In particular, CIPS provides a home for interdisciplinary
plasma related activities. This includes coordination of high-performance scientific and
networking capability. The Center for Integrated Plasma Studies has the additional
mission of scientific outreach, including making plasma physics, general physics and
astrophysics highly accessible to the general public.
7
General Outline of Research
The focus of research carried out at CIPS is the study of plasma, hot ionized gas, such as
found in the stars, in space, and in lightning storms. It is used for fluorescent lighting
and for fabricating microchips.
Plasma physics has broadened considerably from its original domain. It includes not
only the study of ionized gases, but also the study of strongly coupled systems, nonneutral plasmas, dusty plasmas, and charged particle beams. Plasma research has long
been applied to space, astrophysical, and fusion plasmas, but in addition is now applied
to semiconductor processing, intense particle beams, and high-definition video. Plasma
physics is important in both naturally occurring systems as well as in the laboratory.
All of these areas of physics are found in the Center for Integrated Plasma Studies.
Because of the broad scope of plasma physics, members have links to many other units
at University of Colorado. These units include the Departments of Physics, Astrophysical
and Planetary Science, Applied Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace
Engineering, and Electrical Engineering. Other institutes, such as the Laboratory for
Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) and JILA, are represented as well. In addition,
CIPS reaches outside the University with affiliates from government labs, such at the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the High Altitude Observatory
of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), and the Space Environment
Labs of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and from
several local research companies, such as Lodestar Corporation and Science Applications
International Corporation.
The Center for Integrated Plasma Studies supports communication and exchange of
ideas in plasma physics. It does so through its seminar series, which covers all aspects
of plasma physics. In addition, CIPS provides research opportunities for students and
all others interested in this field.

Note from the Director
CIPS is approaching its 10th year of existence with
continued growth in annual research support, which has
reached approximately $1.5 million. This was achieved
under the leadership of our previous director, Prof. John
R. Cary, who placed CIPS on a sound financial footing.
The retirement of Prof. Raul Stern, a founding Fellow, draws
attention to our program in experimental plasma physics.
Raul was the pioneer in the use of laser induced
fluorescence as a plasma diagnostic tool. In honor of Raul's
75th birthday, a Miniconference on Laser Induced
Fluorescence is being held at the 2003 meeting of the Division of Plasma Physics of the
American Physical Society. We wish him a healthy and enjoyable retirement. Clearly
our top priority for 2003 will be the hiring of a new Professor to broaden the options for
students seeking degrees in experimental plasma physics.

Professional Interests
John R. Cary
My interests are concentrated in beam/accelerator physics,
plasma physics, nonlinear dynamics, and computational
physics. My accelerator/beam physics interests concentrate
currently in advanced accelerator concepts: the generation and
use of large (10-100 GV/m) fields through laser-plasma
interactions. My plasma physics interests are currently in the
simulation of the nonlinear interactions of radio frequency
electromagnetic fields with plasma as occurs in plasma heating.
In plasma heating the nonlinear dynamical effects, which are
crucial to making the process irreversible, are also part of our
research. In recent years we have devoted extensive effort to
computational methods, including developing a new arbitrary-dimensional, parallel, hybrid,
plasma simulation code, VORPAL.
Yang Chen
I am interested
mainly
in
gyrokinetic
p a r t i c l e
simulation of
turbulence and
transport.
Within
this
research I am
involved in the
Summit Project,
a multi-institutional collaboration on the
development of large-scale electromagnetic
simulations of plasma transport. As part of this
project I developed a gyrokinetic particle code
GEM, which is the only particle code capable of
treating both kinetic electrons with the realistic
ion-electron mass ratio and the finite beta effects.
Isidoros Doxas
The main subject of my research
is plasma turbulence in
laboratory and space plasmas,
especially as analyzed by the
methods of nonlinear dynamics
and
large-scale
particle
simulations. I have worked on
stochastic transport in fusion
devices, and on the limits of
quasilinear theory. For the past
ten years I have participated in
and directed research projects in
magnetospheric physics.
16
Kathy Garvin-Doxas
My research focus is on education and technology particularly in the
sciences. I evaluate a variety of new learning tools as they are being
designed using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods
(pre- and postsurveys, video-taped and direct observations and analysis
individual and focus group interviews) to determine student learning
gains, how well the learning tool works, and recommendations for
improvements. This work has lead to my involvement with national
efforts to employ evaluation as an agent for change in teaching and
learning at the classroom, discipline, and institutional levels. I also work
on gender issues related to science and technology, as well as effective
collaboration in classrooms—particularly in science lab settings.
Rodolfo Giacone
My research interests lie in the
area of laser-plasma interactions,
especially as related to plasma
based
accelerators
and
accelerator physics. I am also
involved in the development of
new algorithms and computer
codes using modern computing
methods for laser-plasma
research.
Martin Goldman
I am interested in developing
nonlinear theoretical models
in order to interpret measurements in Earth's auroral
ionosphere of localized unipolar fields (double layers),
associated localized bipolar
electric field structures and
highly nonthermal particle
distributions. I also study the
excitation of these structures
in a beam-plasma system.
17
Marie Jensen
James Howard
My research interests lie mainly
in applications of Hamiltonian
dynamics to a wide variety of
physical problems, including
dust dynamics, asteroidal
satellites, microwave ionization
of Rydberg atoms, and RF ion
traps. In addition I collaborate
with Applied Math faculty on
dynamics problems and
Aerospace Engineering faculty
on sonic boom simulations. I also
work in such areas as nearly
axisymmetric systems, martian
dust rings and the epicyclic
motion of Saturnian dust grains,
asteroidal satellites, as well as
the stability of extrasolar planets
around binary stars.
My recent work has
been focused on
measuring
the
temperature of lasercooled ions in a
Penning
trap,
primarily motivated
by the possibility of
creating
manyparticle entangled
states. Such states
would have applications in the fields of both quantum
information and frequency standards. A Penning trap
is a device used to trap charged particles. The
confinement is due to a combination of static electric
and magnetic fields.
Alan Kiplinger
My research revolves
around several areas of
observing solar activity.
In particular, solar
activity that has direct
effects on the Earth and its
space environment. These
phenomena include solar
flares and their associated
interplanetary particle
events and coronal mass
ejections. Efforts involve the use of solar hard and soft Xray, microwave, optical and EUV data.
18
James Meiss
David L. Newman
My primary research activities
are in the field of nonlinear
plasma physics, with emphasis
on theoretical modeling and
nonlinear simulation of wave
and particle phenomena in a
variety of near-Earth space
plasma
and
laboratory
environments. Specific research
projects in 2002 included openboundary simulation studies of
the interaction of “transition
layers” (a generalization of
double layers) with electron
phase-space holes, extended into
a second spatial dimension for
highly magnetized electrons and
ions. These and other research
projects were complemented by
data visualization efforts using
state-of-the-art
computer
graphics packages (such as
OpenDX) to aid in the analysis
of multidimensional data sets.
My research is in the area of
dynamical systems, in particular
the study of the onset and
characterization of chaos.
Current research has focused on
the geometry of three and four
dimensional dynamical systems.
Chet Nieter
My research focus is
on the application of
modern computing
technologies
to
computational
physics. I have
continued to work on
improving
and
expanding
the
capacities of the
object-oriented
plasma simulation code VORPAL. VORPAL now has a
working fluid and particle-in-cell model for the plasma,
and a finite difference Yee mesh solver for the
electromagnetic fields. VORPAL has been used in
studies of beam injection for the laser wake field
accelerator (LWFA) concept. Preliminary work has
begun on using VORPAL to study radio frequency
heating of fusion plasmas.
19
Scott Parker
My research areas include theory and
simulation of plasma turbulence and transport,
kinetic particle effects and kinetic closure of
macroscopic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)
fluid models, magnetosphere and auroral
ionosphere Alfven waves, and new numerical
methods for kinetic plasma simulation. In 2002
we solved the so-called “High Beta Problem”,
i.e. we discovered how to simulate kinetic
electrons with magnetic perturbations in
turbulence simulations.
Scott Robertson
My research interests are in experimental plasma
physics including the ionosphere and space, as
well as the development of rocket-borne probes
for ionospheric aerosols (NASA-funded). A
second NASA grant (with Josh Colwell) supports
laboratory studies of the electrostatic transport of
lunar and martian dusts. A DOE grant (with
Mihály Horányi) supports fundamental studies of
dusts in plasmas. I also involve undergraduates
in research on confinement of plasma in Penning
traps and interact with a NIST group using
Penning traps. In 2002, although I was officially on sabbatical leave, I continued to
advise Engineering Physics students and to advise graduate students.
Zoltan Sternovsky
My research interest is currently in
plasma probes, in the physics of
dusty plasmas and in the electric
properties of cosmic dust particles.
I perform experiments in this area
and I am also involved in the
development of probe theories and
dust charging in plasmas. I build
experimental set-ups, develop
instrumentations and perform
numerical calculations.

Current Research Programs
The following abstracts are brief summaries of various research projects currently
carried out by CIPS scientists. They are organized by subject matter.
Dusty plasmas
James Howard
Dust dynamics
Saturn: We have continued our investigations of charged
dust dynamics in planetary magnetospheres. New work
for Saturn includes a treatment of epicyclic motion of
equatorial grains and the effects of radiation pressure and
nonkeplerian gravity on orbital stability. Recent
simulations show that nonequatorial “halo” orbits can be Figure 4. Artist’s conception of a
nonequatorial halo orbit about Saturn.
populated via capture of interplanetary grains. This is very
encouraging news for the Cassini Mission due to arrive at Saturn in 2004.
Jupiter: Work on jovian dust dynamics shows
that the tilt of the magnetic field produces
strongly chaotic behavior for dust grains
smaller than about 750 nm, an interesting
application of nearly axisymmetric theory.
This is a radically different approach to dust
dynamics near Jupiter and may well help
explain
the
observed form
and composition
of the jovian
rings.

Figure 6. Transverse martian
halo orbit, supported by solar
radiation pressure and martian
gravity.
Mars: Do martian dust rings exist? While astronomers have looked
in vain for equatorial rings, our results suggest that attention should
be drawn to nearly polar orbits. In order for such orbits to exist,
they must be stable to Mars’ small oblateness as well as its rotation
around the sun. One mechanism for populating a transverse ring
might be via collisions of micrometeoroids with the two small
martian moons. Our treatment of transverse martian dust rings
has been sharpened by an improved treatment of solar wind effects,
and will hopefully be observed by the Nozomi spacecraft now en
route to Mars.

ω
Asteroidal satellites
Transverse orbits: Our first work dealt mainly with the
effects of asteroidal rotation on transverse near-circular
orbits, using the classical two fixed centers field as a
tractable model. The results indicate that initially circular
orbits remain so under gradual increase in asteroid rotation
rate. In a new paper for Celestial Mechanics, in collaboration
with Prof. Dan Scheeres (University of Michigan), we
extend our repertory of gravitational models and employ
second order perturbation theory to improve the semianalytic description of orbital tilt into a successful
quantitative theory.

“pencil on the table mode,” i.e. about the axis of maximum moment of inertia, and the orbits of
most observed asteroidal moons lie close to this plane of rotation. Thus, it is important to
understand the dynamics of such “coplanar orbits.” Issues concern the relative stability of
prograde and retrograde orbits and the role of chaos on the size and location of stable regions.
Extrasolar planets around binary stars: Interestingly, the dynamics of a single planet under the
gravitational force of a binary star system bears strong similarities to a small moonlet orbiting
an extended body. This connection is being explored in collaboration with Prof. R. Dvorak
(University of Vienna).

Experimental plasma physics in the lab and in the upper atmosphere
Our research involves experimental plasma physics, modeling, and
atmospheric physics. In the lab we perform experiments on plasma
diagnostics with Langmuir probes and study properties of plasma
sheaths, in both emphasizing the effect of ion-neutral collisions. We also
develop numerical simulation codes, including Monte-Carlo methods, Figure 8. Two detectors
which help us in the better understanding of the experimental data. In for charged aerosol

The use of technology to enhance student learning
Kathy Garvin-Doxas works in research and evaluation of STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics) education initiatives, particularly those that involve the use of
technology to enhance student learning. With STEM
Colorado, she coordinates assessment and evaluation
efforts among participating departments as well as basic
organization for the project. Her research focuses on
misconceptions about classroom collaboration and
cooperative learning; issues of gender and diversity among
those who study and work in information technology
fields; articulating the communication process necessary
for eliciting student misconceptions about STEM subjects
as a model for computer-student interactions; and the
development of research-based learning assessment
instruments as well as protocols and instruments for use
in evaluating course transformation and the success of
innovations. Additionally, she provides workshops on

Magnetic fusion

Gyrokinetic simulation of turbulent transport
My research is on the numerical modeling and prediction of turbulence and transport in toroidal
fusion plasma. In order for the fusion reaction to take place in a self-sustained manner, the
plasma must be heated and maintained at a certain level of density and temperature. The main
obstacle to a controlled fusion is

year I have developed an algorithm to solve this problem. We have successfully applied the
new algorithm to the simulation of typical H-mode plasmas, demonstrating the importance of
magnetic field perturbations and collisional processes in determining the transport level. This
work is part of the Summit Framework (http://www.nersc.gov/scidac/summit), which is a
multi-institutional collaboration to develop comprehensive software for the modeling of
turbulence and transport in toroidal fusion plasmas.

RF heating of plasmas
There are many applications of Radio Frequency (RF) power in plasma, from heating and current
drive, to profile control and instability suppression. The accurate prediction of the propagation
and absorption of RF waves in plasmas is a crucial element in design of a working fusion

an improved plasma response theory with additional terms to describe new physical effects,
which were not included in previous calculations. These new terms allow us to add the effects

of magnetic field gradients in
arbitrary directions and magnetic
field curvature to the calculation
of the plasma’s response to RF
fields. When previous calculations

assumptions about the size of

theories incorporated collisions at
all, then a simplifying assumption was made that the plasma was at a very high temperature.
While this is valid in most cases relevant to fusion physics, there are important situations in
which the high temperature approximation fails. These include the plasma near the edge of the
reactor, and the entire reactor during the start up period.

Direct numerical simulation and basic theoretical understanding of plasma turbulence and transport
My research includes large-scale simulations of tokamak plasma turbulence. (A tokamak is a
donut shaped magnetic confinement device used for studying production of fusion energy in
the laboratory. Fusion is the energy source of the stars, including our sun.) These simulations
solve reduced equations in a five-dimensional phase-space (called the gyrokinetic formalism)
using newly developed particle simulation methods
which evolve the perturbed part of the distribution
function along characteristics. These calculations
involve many millions of simulation particles and
must fully utilize the newest and most powerful
massively parallel computers. For the first time,
these fully nonlinear simulations have shown
spectral features and transport levels similar to that
observed in large present-day experiments. Other
active research areas include theoretical and
computational research on kinetic-fluid hybrid

Nearly axisymmetric systems
Nearly axisymmetric systems occur in many physical problems, including dust dynamics in
planetary magnetospheres, ion motion in a Paul trap, microwave ionization of Rydberg atoms,
field errors in plasma fusion devices, or any axisymmetric device where imperfections introduce
small azimuthal variations. In a truly axisymmetric system, all dynamical quantities, including
the canonical momentum, are independent of the azimuthal angle, allowing a two-dimensional
description of single particle motion in terms of an effective potential. In the presence of small
azimuthal variations it often happens that the canonical momentum merely oscillates about an
average value, which may be used to define an average effective potential. The motion may
then be described as quasi-two-dimensional, with orbits confined within a torus much smaller
than the exact zero-velocity surface.
Planetary rings: Solar radiation pressure acting on micron-size dust grains orbiting an
axisymmetric planet such as Mars or Saturn can produce large long-time effects. In the case of
the nonmagnetic planet Mars the result is a rapid increase in orbital eccentricity and impact to
the martian surface. Saturn, on the other hand, has a substantial magnetic field which can
stabilize the inward-spiraling motion of submicron size grains. The relative stability of smaller
Saturnian dust grains is seen to be a consequence of the existence of an adiabatic invariant
which maintains the quasi-two-dimensionality of the motion.
The E ring of Saturn (3-8 Rs) is composed primarily of micron-size dust grains moving under
the influence of planetary gravity and rotating magnetic dipole field. Since the magnetic and
spin axes coincide, this system is axisymmetric, even including planetary oblateness and a
magnetic quadrupole field component. The unidirectional force
of solar radiation pressure breaks this symmetry and can have a
large cumulative effect on the motion of individual grains.
Ion traps: Another important and very actively studied
axisymmetric system is the RF Paul trap, which offers myriad
physical and technological applications. While the pioneering
experiments were conducted in purely axisymmetric geometry,
current experiments are almost invariably performed using
slightly nonaxisymmetric electrodes, in order to establish an
“axis of crystallization,” along which ions can line up. In
addition, easily fabricated elliptic traps are widely used in
quantum computation research. In all these applications it is
essential to avoid unstable combinations of parameters, which
can lead to “crystal melting” and rapid loss of trapped ions.
Perhaps the most thoroughly studied configuration is the relative
two-ion motion, which is conveniently split into a rapid
“Zitterbewegung” and a slow time-averaged “secular” motion. Figure 15. Three dimensional
Elliptic traps are also of current interest for quantum contour plot of zero-velocity
computation applications. In contrast to the dust problem, where surface for two-ion motion in an
elliptic ion trap.

the perturbation strength is small and dictated by planetary parameters, the asymmetry of the
Paul trap has no such limitations and can in fact be quite large. At large asymmetry particle
confinement is limited only by the topology of zero-velocity surfaces, which involves some
interesting applications of singularity theory.

second topic concerns
the observation of singular periodic orbits in symplectic maps and Hamiltonian flows,
characterized by vanishing rotation number. Our goal is to determine whether such orbits are
generic, and their significance. While two-dimensional symplectic maps have been thoroughly
studied, the properties of 4-D maps are much less well understood. Froeschle maps, which are
coupled standard maps, have interesting resonance structure (Arnold web) and offer a tractable
proving ground for ideas on the dynamics of higher dimensional maps. We have studied both
thick and thin-layer Arnold diffusion in Froeschle maps. Also of interest is the nature of twistless
tori in these 4-D maps.

Microwave ionization of Rydberg atoms
Classical models have enjoyed considerable success in describing the ionization of Rydberg
atoms by microwave radiation. In particular, this approach, a wedding of celestial mechanics
and atomic physics, yields useful ionization thresholds, which shed light on both classical
dynamics and so-called quantum chaos. Experiments are currently being planned using
elliptically and circularly polarized (CP) microwaves, which are usually studied in the case
where the orbital plane coincides with the plane of polarization. At very low scaled RF
frequencies ionization is well described by a static Stark model. For small electric field strength
we again have a nearly axisymmetric system, with the spherically symmetric Kepler Hamiltonian
as unperturbed system. We are investigating the structure of the zero-velocity surface (ZVS)
which is isomorphic to the ZVS for the radiation pressure model for a nonmagnetic planet. The
classical theory of the interaction of Rydberg atoms with linear or circularly polarized microwave
radiation presents many theoretical challenges. A comprehensive treatment has been written
35
in collaboration with A. J. Lichtenberg (University of California, Berkeley) and is presently
undergoing final revisions. Our previous theoretical work on two-frequency excitation resulted
in successful experiments carried out at SUNY Stony Brook. These experiments, originally at
high microwave frequency, i.e. well above the orbital frequency of the participating electron,
are now being extended to much lower microwave frequencies, where new resonances come
into play. A new theory for this interesting frequency regime is being developed in collaboration
with Reinhold Blümel (Wesleyan University).

Geometry and dynamics of conservative systems
The focus of our studies is the geometry and dynamics of conservative systems such as
symplectic maps that arise from Hamiltonian dynamics and volume-preserving maps that arise
from incompressible dynamics. One topic we have studied is the concept of a twistless
bifurcation; this corresponds to the nonmonotonicity of the frequency as a function of action.
They can lead to the breakdown of stability of linearly elliptic equilibria and of the invariant
tori that surround them (see Figure 17).
Transport in volume-preserving systems is
important for the understanding of the
mixing of passive tracers in fluids. Our
study of a simple model that generalizes the
two-dimensional “blinking vortex” flow of
Aref. Surprisingly we found that a quite
general three-dimensional stirring model
has a invariant. We also found more general
classes of volume-preserving mappings
that have an invariant—the dynamics of
these can nevertheless be quite complicated
(see Figure 18).
Figure 17. Volumes of regular regions near an elliptic fixed
point for a 4-D symplectic map as a function of its rotation
number. The horizontal and vertical axes represent the
residues of the fixed point (related to their rotation numbers).
The onset of chaos near resonances can be seen in the
small volumes (orange and red) along curves in this space,
as opposed to the larger volumes (blue and mauve) away
from resonance.
A third area that we have studied concerns
polynomial mappings. These have a long
history; indeed, one of the first chaotic systems to be studied was the quadratic mapping of
Hénon. We have developed a classification of reversible polynomial automorphisms of the
plane.
The
simplest
reversors in dynamical
systems are involutions (e.g.
reversal of velocities
corresponds to reversal of
time). In our studies we

Temperature measurements of laser-cooled ions in a Penning trap
Measuring the temperature of laser-cooled ions in a Penning trap
is primarily motivated by the possibility of creating many-particle
entangled states. A Penning trap is a device used to trap charged
particles. The confinement is due to a combination of static electric
and magnetic fields. There is a strong magnetic field (in our case
produced by a superconducting magnet) along the z-axis, also
called the trap axis. This field provides the radial confinement, i.e.
charged particles cannot escape from the trap along a direction
perpendicular to the trap axis. The axial confinement is due to
electric fields (appropriate voltages are applied to the electrodes
to create the needed fields).
Experiments on trapped ions are carried out at NIST by Marie
Jensen, Taro Hasegawa and John Bollinger. In this experiment, ions
of beryllium are confined in a 4.5 T field. The ions are laser cooled
to a temperature of ~1 milliKelvin which results in a crystalline
state. As the ion cloud becomes warmer from collisions with
residual gas, a discontinuity in the temperature is consistent with
a solid-to-liquid phase transition. This occurs at approximately the

Microwave cooling of a strongly magnetized electron plasma
In order to get cold electron plasma whose temperature is low enough for the plasma to be a
crystalline phase, we introduce microwave cooling to the electron plasma. An electron plasma
which has no internal degree of freedom cannot be cooled down below a heat bath temperature.
However, the longitudinal
cooling can be achieved by energy
transfer from the poorly cooled
parallel degree of freedom to the
well cooled (by synchrotron
radiation) perpendicular degree
of freedom. A microwave tuned
to a frequency below the
gyrofrequency forces electrons
moving towards the microwave to
absorb a microwave photon.
Simultaneously the electrons
move up one in Landau state and
then lose their longitudinal
momentum. In this process, the
longitudinal temperature of the
electron plasma can be decreased. Figure 21. Our simulation result of Fokker-Plank equation shows that
On the basis that the the crystalization can be achieved approximately in 2 hours. The ratio
of the first excited state over the ground is 0.2 during the simulation.
perpendicular temperature is
below the Landau temperature of the plasma, we set up two level transition equations and
then derive a Fokker-Planck equation from the two level equations. With an aid of a finite
element method (FEM) code for the equation, the cooling times for several values of the magnetic
field, the microwave cavity, and the relative detuning frequency from the gyrofrequency, are
calculated. Consequently, the optimal values of microwave cavity and detuning frequency
from the gyrofrequency, for longitudinal cooling of a strongly magnetized electron plasma
with microwave bath, have been found. By applying the optimal values with an appropriate
microwave intensity, the best cooling can be obtained. For the electron plasma magnetized
with 10T, the cooling time to the solid state is approximately 2 hours. Without this optimization,
times were always several hours, longer than the life time of the plasma in real system.

Non-neutral plasma
Non-neutral plasmas are plasmas composed of either electrons or ions alone. Plasmas having
one sign of charge generate their own electric field, which affects equilibrium and stability.
These plasmas are often confined in cylindrical Penning traps in which a magnetic field provides
radial confinement and electrostatic potentials at the ends provide axial confinement. Professors
Scott Robertson and Bob Walch and students have carried out a number of experiments to
investigate the effects of electron-neutral
collisions on confinement of pure
electron plasmas. Different pressures of
helium gas are used to create a known
collision rate. A measurement of the
density of electrons as a function of time
is used to find the electron loss rate
arising from mobility and diffusion.
Conducting rods at the center of the
experiment are used to create a field that
twists the magnetic field lines.
Experiments show that the neoclassical
theory of transport developed for
tokamaks describes the transport in the
Penning trap with the twisted field lines.

Theory and simulation of nonlinear electric fields in space and laboratory plasmas
The primary focus of our research
is the theoretical and numerical
modeling of nonlinear electric field
structures in current-carrying and
beam-driven plasmas, together
with propagating waves and
modified particle distributions
found in association with these
structures. Recent spacecraft
observations — especially those
from the FAST (Fast Auroral

revealed the important role played
by nonlinear electric field
structures in Earth’s auroral zone.
One class of phenomena observed Figure 26. A fixed-time “snapshot” of the electric field components

and temperatures in the
ionosphere compared to the magnetosphere. Electrons accelerated by the transition layer’s
electric field can excite beam-plasma instabilities that lead to a second class of nonlinear field
phenomena know as bipolar structures. These correspond to holes in electron density as well as
in electron phase-space. The relation between transition layers and electron holes is illustrated
in the accompanying figure from a recent 2-D simulation in which both the electrons and ions
are assumed to be strongly magnetized. Among the continuous waves observed in association
with transition layers and electron holes are lower hybrid waves and electrostatic ion-cyclotron
harmonic waves. One of our goals is to use the insights gained from studying transition layers
and bipolar structures in space in order to guide the design of experiments for the study of
these phenomena in the laboratory. Our research benefits from close ongoing interactions with
Prof. Robert Ergun of the APS Dept. and LASP, who is a Principal Investigator on the FAST

Collaboration with the Czech Hard X-Ray Spectrometer (HXRS)
Before 2002 Dr. Kiplinger worked with scientists from the Czech Republic (Dr. Francis Farnik)
and the NOAA Space Environment Center (Dr. Howard Garcia) to develop the HXRS which
has two hard X-ray detectors. These efforts included providing a scientific basis for development
and launch; design modeling for the instrument’s passive entrance filter; and development of
the FITS data format needed for analysis by specialized hard X-ray fitting routines. To date, the
HXRS spectrometer has recorded 20 solar flares that are directly associated with major proton
events seen at Earth. Eight of these events were simultaneously observed by RHESSI with the
event of Aug 22, 2002 being the best example of satellite overlap with protons.

Use of the Solar Radio Burst Locator telescopes
The Solar Radio Burst Locator (SRBL) is a new ground-based
instrument used to record the spectra of microwave bursts and
to locate their positions on the solar disk. It was designed at
Caltech by Dr. Gordon Hurford and is currently supported by
Dr. Brian Dougherty. It employs a single, automated, six-foot
dish and a receiver that records more than 100 frequencies below
18 GHz every five seconds. Although solar burst positions
formed the primary design consideration, Dr. Dougherty is
working with Dr. Kiplinger in exploring the remarkable
microwave spectra that the instrument returns. Spectral
signatures seen in microwaves often mimic the signatures seen
in hard X-rays that lead to predictions of proton events in space.

Use and support of optical observations made at the wavelength of H-alpha (NASA funded)
H-alpha is an optical emission or absorption line of hydrogen that is an extremely sensitive
indicator of solar flare energy release. In this regard, Dr. Kiplinger continues to support the
SOONSPOT (Solar Optical Observing Network Solar Patrol on Tape) solar image archival system
and the High Speed H-alpha Camera/Polarimeter system. In 2002, the SOONSPOT system
employed four U.S. Air Force SOON (Solar Optical Observing Network) observatories located
around the world. Each site records full disk H-alpha images every 30 minutes, and large scale
H-alpha images of active regions or other features every five minutes (or 30s during flares).
In addition to SOONSPOT, Dr. Kiplinger continues observations with the High Speed H-alpha
Camera/Polarimeter system which operates from the Boulder Campus at Sommers Bausch
Observatory. Basically, this camera system was developed to explore temporal relationships of
rapid fluctuations in hard X-rays and flashes in H-alpha intensities (-1.3 A blue wing). It was
later upgraded to measure linear polarization at a cadence of 0.5s in the blue wing of H-alpha
and on band. The 18-inch telescope on the CU campus has been modified and it now requires,
43
in good conditions, less than 1 hour to place the system into operation. In July and August of
2002, two new students were funded by CU’s Summer Undergraduate Research Experience
(SURE) program to conduct observations with the High Speed Camera/Polarimeter. They are
Kelsi Singer and Amanda Heaton who are incoming sophomores in astrophysics and in
aerospace engineering/astrophysics, respectively, and both have since been employed part
time with CIPS under the direction of Dr. Kiplinger.
Figure 28. The ISOON telescope at
Sacramento Peak, Sunspot, NM.
There is also a newer optical H-alpha system called the
Improved Solar Optical Observing Network (ISOON)
which was to have replaced SOON beginning in 2003. It is
full disk in field of view and it performs in an astounding
fashion when compared to most modern ground based
instrumentation. Surprisingly, further deployment of
ISOON was terminated in late 2002. Thus, it appears that
the SOON and SOONSPOT will remain the USAF’s only
worldwide solar optical support system for several years
to come. Accordingly, Dr. Kiplinger has engaged in a new
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Air
Force, NOAA/SEC and the University of Colorado to help
insure SOONSPOT operation for ~3 additional years.

Low-dimensional dynamical models for the solar wind driven magnetosphere-ionosphere system
In investigating a family of low-dimensional dynamical models for the coupled magnetosphereionosphere, a new, spatially-resolved nonlinear dynamics model of the coupled solar wind
driven magnetosphere-ionosphere system is developed for the purpose of real-time predictions
of the electrical power flows from the nightside magnetosphere into the ionosphere. The model
is derived from Maxwell equations and nonlinear plasma dynamics and focuses on the key
conservation laws of mass, charge and energy in the power transfer elements in this complex
dynamical system. The models has numerous feedback and feedforward loops for six forms of
energy storage elements in the M-I system. In contrast to neural networks, the model delineates
the physically realizable time ordered sequence of events in substorm dynamics initiated by
changes in the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF).
