Plasmoid behavior of pure hydrogen and hydrogen mixed with 5 % neon

Caption

Plasmoid behavior of pure hydrogen and hydrogen mixed with 5 % neon. In this experiment, a new Thomson Scattering (TS) diagnostic system operating at (an unprecedented rate of) 20 kHz was used to (i) measure the density of the plasmoid at the moment it passed through the observation region, and (ii) identify its position, which verified the theoretical predictions.
