Description
Alfvénic turbulence is pervasive in the solar wind and thought to be common in space and astrophysical plasmas. The solar wind has allowed us to learn much about this turbulence, however, there are many open questions about how it works and shapes these systems. Lab experiments provide a controlled environment to test the basic physics of such turbulence. Here, we present an experiment on the Large Plasma Device at UCLA, in which interacting low-frequency Alfvén waves at small
