Alfven waves are ubiquitous in space plasmas, influencing the dynamics of, for example, solar flares and magnetospheric reconnection. To better understand the role of the waves we have undertaken a program to study these waves in the laboratory. We present results from studies on the Auburn Linear Experiment for Space Plasma Studies of shear wave propagation in a high-density, highly ionized helicon plasma. Depending on the neutral fraction, the measured dispersion curve changes dramatically. These measurements agree well with theoretical predictions. We present these results and a discussion of the applicability to ionospheric plasmas.
