title = "Magnetic bubble expansion as an experimental model for extra-galactic radio lobes",
abstract = "Plasma processes are important for extra-galactic jet/radio lobe formation and evolution. Numerical and observational efforts alone cannot adequately test nonlinear plasma physics in jet/lobe models, laboratory experiments are needed. The model problem of a magnetized plasma bubble ({"}radio lobe{"}) interacting with a lower pressure background plasma ({"}intergalactic medium{"}) is being studied using MHD modeling at Los Alamos National Laboratory in conjunction with laboratory experiments at the University of New Mexico with first measurements currently underway. Detailed experimental measurements in close collaboration with numerical modeling will explore in detail the key plasma physics underlying new astrophysical models of extra-galactic jets and radio lobes.",
