Investigations of Spheromak Plasma Dynamics: High-Speed Imaging at the Sustained Spheromak Physics Experiment and Magnetic Diagnostics at the Caltech Spheromak Experiment
<p>This thesis consists of two parts. The first part describes a specially designed high-speed imaging system installed at the Sustained Spheromak Physics Experiment (SSPX). Thousands of images have been obtained at SSPX using a high-speed, 1280 x 1024 pixel, cooled and intensified CCD camera...
