Scientific paper

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.
