729. Up, out, and away: Probing the initial stages of ion outflow with Swarm

Johnathan Burchill (University of Calgary)

Atmospheric and Space Physics / Physique atmosphérique et de l'espace (DASP-DPAE)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité

Earth's ionized upper atmosphere is ablated into space at a rate of 1 kilogram per second. This outflowing flux is comprised of significant amounts of heavy ions, such as oxygen, whose source populations in the F region ionosphere are sufficiently cool (~1000 K) to be strongly gravitationally bound to the Earth. Here lies a mystery: What processes operate on the cool, dense, low-altitude (*F*...

Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)

Solar Orbiter is a European Space Agency (ESA) mission scheduled for launch early in 2017, with the objective of providing observations of unprecedented quality of the sun and solar wind at locations ranging from 0.28 to 0.9 astronomical units (AU). During its journey, Solar Orbiter will experience a vast range of space-environment conditions, including intense radiation and solar wind plasma...

664. PLASMA TECHNOLOGY: ITS CURRENT and FUTURE IMPACT ON VARIOUS INDUSTRIES

Andranik Sarkissian (PLASMIONIQUE Inc)

Plasma Physics / Physique des plasmas (DPP)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité

Plasma, known also as the forth state of mater, constitutes over 99.9% of our universe. However, our planet appears to be an exception to the rule, where plasma, in its natural state, exists only rarely. The incentive for human to generate and study plasma state started as scientific curiosity, but it has grown into an important enabling industrial tool, with applications in variety of...

852. ZnO Thin Film Samples Produced by Pulsed Laser Deposition for Ultrafast Laser High Harmonics Generation Studies

Mr Zachary Tchir (University of Alberta)

Plasma Physics / Physique des plasmas (DPP)

Oral (Student, Not in Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), pas dans la compétition)

The ultrafast laser generated high harmonics is currently a hot research topics. Higher order harmonics generation in a 0.5 mm thick ZnO bulk crystal irradiated by ultrashort pulses from mid IR laser has been reported recently [1]. Because of the long interaction length in the bulk media the effects from self phase modulation become significant and the consequences are deformation of the ...
