A new plasma experiment relevant to magnetohydrodynamics instability and magnetic reconnection at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

We introduce a new plasma experiment facility in the physical sciences department at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. A newly installed plasma gun, planned diagnostic instruments, and experimental plans will be discussed. This facility can provide students and plasma physics and engineering communities with various opportunities in the central Florida area as a new experiment relevant to the study for magnetohydrodynamics instability, magnetic reconnection, and testing diagnostic instruments. As a new experimental facility developed by a newly joined assistant professor at ERAU, invaluable discussion and input are desired.
