Description:
This HOP seeks to further understand the structure and dynamics of QPs, and in particular the origin of the mysterious dark turbulent upflows and large bubble instabilities. Can we discern a thermal mechanism at work in these dynamics? Or are they caused, as the more classical explanation would have it, by magnetic field dynamics entraining the plasma in a low-?????? mode?
