An Experimental Plasma Dynamo Program for Investigations of Fundamental   Processes in Heliophysics
  Plasma experiments in laboratory settings offer unique opportunities to address fundamental aspects of the solar dynamo and magnetism in the solar atmosphere. We argue here that ground-based laboratory experiments have direct connections to NASA based missions and NSF programs, and that a small investment in laboratory heliophysics may have a high payoff. We advocate for broad involvement in community-scale plasma experiments.
