This significant upgrade of the Large Plasma Device (LAPD) facilitates controlled studies of fundamental plasma processes in the behavior of naturally occurring plasmas in the auroral ionosphere, magnetosphere, solar wind, solar corona, and interstellar medium. Upgrade activities include a 1 1/2 increase in length, doubled magnetic field strength, 100% increase in diagnostic port access, auxiliary ion heating capability, and dual sources for counter-streaming studies. The device will continue to provide new results and training for young researchers.

大型等离子体装置（LAPD）的这一重大升级促进了对极光电离层、磁层、太阳风、日冕和星际介质中自然发生的等离子体行为中基本等离子体过程的受控研究。 升级活动包括长度增加1 1/2，磁场强度增加一倍，诊断端口访问增加100%，辅助离子加热能力和逆流研究的双源。 该设备将继续为年轻研究人员提供新的成果和培训。
