<div class="abstract-content formatted" itemprop="description">
<p class="a-plus-plus">A laboratory plasma experiment has been built to study the eruption of arched magnetic flux ropes (AMFRs) in the presence of a large magnetized plasma. This experiment simulates the eruption of solar AMFRs in two essential steps: i) it produces an AMFR (<em class="a-plus-plus">n</em>=6.0×10<sup class="a-plus-plus">12</sup> cm<sup class="a-plus-plus">−3</sup>, <span class="a-plus-plus inline-equation id-i-eq1">
<span class="a-plus-plus equation-source format-t-e-x">$T_{\rm e} = 14~\mathrm{eV}$</span>
</span>, <em class="a-plus-plus">B</em>≈1 kilo-gauss, <em class="a-plus-plus">L</em>=0.51 m) with a persistent appearance that lasts several Alfvén transit times using a lanthanum hexaboride (LaB<sub class="a-plus-plus">6</sub>) plasma source, and ii) it generates controlled plasma flows from the footpoints of the AMFR using laser beams. An additional LaB<sub class="a-plus-plus">6</sub> plasma source generates a large magnetized plasma in the background. The laser-generated flows trigger the eruption by injecting dense plasma and magnetic flux into the AMFR. The experiment is highly reproducible and runs continuously with a 0.5 Hz repetition rate; hence, several thousand identical loop eruptions are routinely generated and their spatio-temporal evolution is recorded in three-dimensions using computer-controlled movable probes. Measurements demonstrate striking similarities between the erupting laboratory and solar arched magnetic flux ropes.</p>
