Abstract

How the solar wind is accelerated, heated, and driven turbulent is among the most important open questions in Heliophysics, but hard to address using spacecraft missions and numerical simulations alone. To complement these approaches, it is important to build a laboratory Solar Wind Machine to isolate, control, and diagnose plasma phenomena responsible for the complex solar wind behavior.
