    Feb 21, 2024The Moon does not have a global-scale magnetic field dipole to shield it from charged particles in the solar wind (SW). To lowest order, the SW particles are incident on and absorbed by the lunar surface to leave a deep void in the downstream wake (Colburn et al. 1967; Lyon et al. 1967).The interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) passes through the Moon with only a weak enhancement in the ...

Laboratory experiments can thus be an invaluable tool to fill in this gap and help understand the physics of magnetic reconnection in lunar and other mini-magnetospheres. We have developed an experimen-tal platform to study ion-scale magnetospheres on the Large Plasma Device (LAPD) at UCLA. This platform

    Laboratory Experiments: We have carried out la-boratory experiments using a plasma wind tunnel to investigate mini-magnetospheres and find that they show characteristics similar to the lunar mini-magnetospheres [5]. A quantified comparison between the observations, both in space and in the laboratory,

    solar wind ions and form a magnetosphere-like structure called the lunar mini-magnetosphere (LMM). The LMM is defined as a small-scale magnetic structure caused by the solar wind interaction with the local magnetic anomalies, which can shield the lunar surface from the solar wind. Strictly speaking, both a shock
  8. Feb 7, 2024View PDF Abstract: Mini-magnetospheres are small ion-scale structures that are well-suited to studying kinetic-scale physics of collisionless space plasmas. Such ion-scale magnetospheres can be found on local regions of the Moon, associated with the lunar crustal magnetic field. In this paper, we report on the laboratory experimental study of magnetic reconnection in laser-driven, lunar-like ...

    Oct 7, 2024We present laboratory observation of magnetic reconnection in laser-driven lunar-like ion-scale magnetospheres on the Large Plasma Device (LAPD) at UCLA. In our experiment, we use a high-repetition rate (1 Hz), nanosecond laser to drive a fast moving plasma that expands into the field generated by a pulsed magnetic dipole embedded into a ...

    Jul 8, 2024Table 1 shows a comparison of important dimensionless quantities between the experiment, PIC simulations, and lunar mini-magnetospheres. Notably, our laboratory experiment reproduces the collisionless, ion-scale, low-β regime that can be found on the Moon. Therefore, it is probable that the effect of Hall physics associated with the different ...
