3 1 Transport in Non-neutral Plasmas, ONR support has enabled a highly productive program of experiments and theory on transport, equilibration, and waves in single-species plasmas. These single species plasmas are unique in that they can relax to global thermal equilibrium while confined in a simple cylindrical trap. In practice, this means that incisive quantitative measurements can be made on a variety of fundamental plasma processes, for direct comparison to theory. Significantly, most anti-matter production techniques use similar single-species traps, and the ONR research has had direct and fundamental impact on this nascent field. Under ONR support, two sophisticated apparatuses were developed: the laser-diagnosed ion plasma apparatus, called IV, which allows quantitative measurement of test particle transport; and the camera-diagnosed electron apparatus, CamV, which gives high resolution images of 2D cross-field flows. Additionally, experiments were continued on the existing electron plasma containment apparatus EV. Theory work developed fundamental ideas of waves, transport, and equilibrium in these systems, and supported the experiments. In general, we have sought to obtain tests of plasma theory under the simplest possible circumstances we can devise; and, when the theory is inadequate, to develop it further. The wide range of parameters available in these systems has allowed us to understand which processes dominate in various parameter regimes, and to make connections to the unusual cryogenic regimes found in atomic physics and anti-matter experiments. This led to the entirely new paradigm of long-range collisional transport, which causes strong particle diffusion, heat flow, and viscous relaxation across the magnetic field; and this paradigm is closely coupled to the work on 2D vortex dynamics. Separately, experiments on asymmetryinduced transport have led to a broad perspective on trapped-particle modes and trapped-particlemediated transport. Perhaps most significantly, the entirely unanticipated rotating wall technique allows infinite-time confinement of particles, and has been adopted in labs worldwide. The scientific results are fully described in the 84 published journal articles and 10 Ph.D. theses. Much of this work was also partially supported by the NSF. Here we give a brief overview and reference to the papers, organized by major research topic, with the newer topics discussed first. Anti-Matter and Recombination. Antihydrogen formation in strongly magnetized plasmas is generally preceded by three-body recombination into weakly-bound guiding-center drift atoms, first described by Glinsky and O Neil [Phys. Plasmas 1991]. These weakly-bound states are well described by classical guiding-center drift theory, and represent a significant barrier on the path to the desired ground state antihydrogen. Recent analysis suggests that these weaklybound states offer explanation for the spectrum of binding energies observed in the ATRAP antihydrogen experiment [8]. Recent theory work analyzed plasma effects which drive the antihydrogen towards more deeply bound states [13], correcting some prior misconceptions.

4 2 Moreover, new theory on guiding center atoms has characterized the unusual energy levels to be expected, the cross-field motions which occur, and offers the exciting possibility of polarization trapping of the neutral atoms [10,11,12,93]. Further work on polarization effects may enable confinement of significant quantities of neutral atoms. The recent theory work also described important dynamical effects (including re-ionization) which occur when the guiding center atom moves across the magnetic field. Recent theory has also characterized the novel guiding center ion states which could not exist without the strong magnetic field [9]. For example, a second positron may bind weakly to deeply-bound neutral antihydrogen, and this suggests further diagnostic techniques for antihydrogen production. Recent theory has also characterized three possible minimum-b neutral atom traps which do not have the problematical large-scale magnetic field asymmetries of standard designs [1,3]. In two designs, the field minimum is cylindrically symmetric; in a third design the field asymmetry rotates, providing magnetic rotating wall confinement. These rotating magnetic fields are technically similar to those used in atomic physics and fusion applications, but significant development will be required before the traps are practical. Most recently, experiments have characterized the diocotron instabilities in electron plasmas which result from transiting positive ions [7]. The experimental results are entirely different from the previous ion resonance theory perspective, and the instability is more virulent. This suggests that control of these instabilities will be necessary for significant antihydrogen production by the usual technique of antiprotons transiting through positron plasmas. Recombination in ultracold plasmas with no magnetic field has also been analyzed, using a novel molecular-dynamics simulation [2,5,6,99]. Recent UCSD theory and simulations have established that strong particle correlations do not develop in experiments (in other laboratories) where ultracold neutral plasma clouds are produced by laser ionization. Contrary to earlier speculation, the initial particle interactions necessarily heat the electrons, keeping the temperature high enough that only modest particle correlations exist. The theory also establishes that the three-body recombination rate is in close agreement with the traditional formula, clarifying prior confusion due to incorrect temperature presumptions. Experimental Techniques. The UCSD-developed rotating wall technique for infinite-time containment of single species plasmas continues to find important applications in laboratories world-wide, with important applications in anti-matter production and containment. The technique was first developed for Mg + ions on the IV apparatus, then extended to electron plasmas on the IV and CamV apparatuses [14,17,18,19,20]. At low amplitudes, the rotating wall drive is observed to couple resonantly to discrete Trivelpiece-Gould plasma modes; but at larger amplitudes the coupling becomes broader and significantly modified by plasma heating. Nonetheless, it allows infinite-time confinement of charged particles over a wide parameter range.

5 3 This technique has been productively adopted by Cliff Surko and the ATHENA group at CERN for infinite-time confinement of positrons, with the goal of high densities and large total number. Obviously, the technique is especially useful in experiments with expensive antimatter particles such as antiprotons. The recent research on thermally excited modes [21,22,23,92] has both practical diagnostic applications and connections to fundamental theory. As a diagnostic, the passively received modes can characterize the plasma temperature, density and size, with demonstrated temperature operation down to well below the temperature of the electronic receiver. Again, this may be useful as a diagnostic for antimatter. From a basic physics perspective, these modes have now been characterized from thermal amplitudes to nonlinear amplitudes where BGK equilibria are observed [24,90]. Collisional Transport. The experiments and theory established a new paradigm for collisional cross-field transport: long-range E B drift collisions can dominate over classical velocityscattering collisions when r c << λ D. These collisions result in the radial diffusion of individual particles; in the radial conduction of heat; and in viscous forces which cause bulk particle transport towards the (confined) thermal equilibrium state. The experiments and theory have characterized these long-range collisions in both the 3D regime and the bounce-averaged 2D regime. The first IV experiments on test particle diffusion showed enhanced diffusion compared to classical theory, but at a rate 3 times larger than predicted by initial calculations of long-range collisions [28,29]. Deeper theory analysis found that the standard technique of integration along unperturbed orbits fails due to a novel (and subtle) velocity caging effect; and the more complete theory agrees quantitatively with the experiments [31]. The transport coefficients of heat and viscosity have also been integrated into this picture. Experiments on laser-diagnosed ion plasmas have accurately measured the heat transport due to long-range collisions, verifying the surprising theoretical prediction that the heat flow does not decrease as the magnetic field increases [30,88]. This result also applies to neutral plasmas in low-density, high field regimes found in tokamak scrape-off layers. Other experiments on electron plasmas measured viscous particle transport in the 2D and 3D regimes. Here, the measured viscosity was 10 to 10,000 larger than predicted for classical transport. These experiments demonstrate a simple scaling with the background flow shear which is not yet incorporated into current theories treating finite length plasma columns [41,87]. Other experiments measured the asymmetry-driven transport from compressional viscosity, which is also called second viscosity [25,27]. This compressional viscosity also gives rise to losses in toroidal systems [26]. The theory and experiments have elucidated the differences in transport between the fully 3D kinetic regime and the 2D bounce-averaged regime. Experiments clearly identified diffusion and viscosity increasing with the number N b of times a particle bounces axially before it is

6 4 separated from neighboring particles by radial shear in the rotation velocity. From the 2D perspective, this is called shear-reduction of transport [44]. A major theory effort has now fully described the diffusion of bounce-averaged rods of charge (i.e. point vortices) in the presence of background shear [35,42,43,45] in a thermodynamic system. This work extends the shear-free analysis of Taylor-McNamara and Dawson-Okuda, and is the only analytically rigorous treatment of shear-reduction of transport. The transport arises from thermally excited convective cells, which are non-diffusive and non-markovian, so the theory links transport concepts (like diffusion) to fluid concepts (like eddies). Trapped Particle Modes. In the area of external asymmetry-induced transport, recent experiments discovered a novel trapped-particle asymmetry mode, and the damping of this mode is found to be directly proportional to the observed plasma expansion. The experiments have fully characterized the damping of the mode versus all plasma parameters, and the (rather subtle) theory analysis shows fair (50%) agreement [46,47,51,52,91]. Experiments are able to directly probe the velocity-space trapping separatrix, providing detailed data to clarify the analysis [49]. Experiments have now also established that externally-applied asymmetries produce particle transport which is quantitatively proportional to the damping rate of the trapped-particle mode [48,50,53]. Essentially, collisional dissipation at the trapping separatrix causes both mode damping and particle transport. This may explain the ubiquitous background transport which is observed in many apparatuses, and is now being related to prior results on transport regimes depending on the plasma rigidity [37,41]. Establishing these transport regimes helps place prior experiments in perspective, and makes connections to the theoretical 2D bounce-averaged regime. These experiments pose direct challenges to the developing theory, suggesting that deep insights into particle transport may result. This work has stimulated wide interest in the trapping community, and wide-ranging theory simulation and experimental collaborations are envisioned. 2D Fluid Dynamics and Turbulence. At high magnetic fields, electron plasmas evolve as nearideal incompressible 2D Euler fluids, with effective Reynolds number of about Experiments discovered that novel vortex crystal equilibria can spontaneously emerge from turbulent initial conditions. Related experiments and theory clarified the nature of continuum modes and algebraic decay of perturbations on a single vortex. Experiments on 2D vortex surface waves have established that end shapes significantly affect the instability or damping of the waves, partially answering a ten-year-old enigma of unexpected instability. Theory work has elucidated these results through a powerful eigenmode analysis and a separate three-dimensional mode solution including realistic plasma shapes at low temperature [61,85,89]. Significant theory work has been motivated by the surprising experimental observation of vortex crystals [65,66,67,69,86]. The analysis has characterized the types of turbulence flows

7 5 which can relax to vortex crystals, by comparing the dynamical rate of vortex merger [54,55] to the as yet only partially understood rate of cooling due to vortex/background interactions [56,70]. Along similar lines, simulations have clearly established limits to global entropy and enstrophy theories by demonstrating the importance of initial conditions and dynamics [68,71]. Experiments on 2D vortex surface waves have now characterized the novel diocotron wave echo [63,64,94], establishing the non-dissipative nature of spatial Landau damping [58] and the close analogy between non-neutral plasmas and 2D fluids. Theoretical analysis closely coupled to experiments is now quantitatively determining the subtle effects of interparticle collisions in destroying the late-time behavior of the echo. Other experiments on the dynamics of strong electron vortices moving in a weaker background vorticity gradient have shown close agreement with prior UCSD simulations and analytic theory [57,59,60,62]. This work clarifies the important (but little discussed) distinction between prograde and retrograde vortices, due to the effectively infinite trapping distance for prograde vortices. This 2D inviscid fluids work is intimately connected to the long-range collisional transport research, and may help to clarify enigmas such as the anti-diffusive behavior observed in 2D plasmas. Correlated Ion Plasmas. The theory of crystalline states in cold ion plasmas and dusty plasmas continues in close collaboration with the experiments at NIST Boulder and at U. Iowa. Theory work on Mach cones in dusty plasma crystals established that the measured experimental characteristics can be used to diagnose the plasma parameters of screening length and dust grain charge [72,75,76,82]. This theory reinterprets the observed wakes as a superposition of linear dispersive waves in analogy with the wake behind ships, and in contrast to the shock wave behind supersonic jets. The theory of crystalline states in ultra-cold pure ion plasmas continues in close collaboration with the experiments at NIST Boulder [77-81]. The theory work done at UCSD enabled an investigation of the Mach cone wakes created by intense laser beam absorption in a rotating ion crystal. These NIST experiments have now extended to the drumhead modes of pancakeshaped ion crystals, the theory of which was also developed at UCSD. Another area of research is the experimental and theoretical investigation of stick-slip motion of the ion crystal when it is subjected to a weak external shearing force. Power-law behavior of the slip frequency vs. slip magnitude is observed, similar to that observed in systems exhibiting self-organized criticality. General Theory. A general thermodynamic theory of trapped non-neutral plasmas was formulated [83,84], describing plasmas that evolve slowly through a sequence of thermal equilibrium states. This greatly simplified description has already proven useful in describing asymmetry-induced torques and laser cooling.
