The FLARE Facility
Hantao Ji, Jongsoo Yoo, Peiyun Shi +53
The Facility for Laboratory Reconnection Experiments (FLARE) has been constructed to study magnetic reconnection in multiple X-line regimes relevant to space, astrophysical, and fu…
Magnetic reconnection in the era of exascale computing and multiscale experiments
Hantao Ji, William Daughton, Jonathan Jara-Almonte +3
Astrophysical plasmas have the remarkable ability to preserve magnetic topology, which inevitably gives rise to the accumulation of magnetic energy within stressed regions includin…
Guide Field Effects on the Distribution of Plasmoids in Multiple Scale Reconnection
Stephen Majeski, Hantao Ji, Jonathan Jara-Almonte +1
The effects of a finite guide field on the distribution of plasmoids in high-Lundquist-number current sheets undergoing magnetic reconnection in large plasmas are investigated with…
Laboratory study of the torus instability threshold in solar-relevant, line-tied magnetic flux ropes
Andrew Alt, Clayton E. Myers, Hantao Ji +7
Coronal mass ejections (CME) occur when long-lived magnetic flux ropes (MFR) anchored to the solar surface destabilize and erupt away from the Sun. This destabilization is often de…
Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena in Solar and Heliospheric Plasmas
H. Ji, J. Karpen, A. Alt +105
Magnetic reconnection underlies many explosive phenomena in the heliosphere and in laboratory plasmas. The new research capabilities in theory/simulations, observations, and labora…
Statistical properties of magnetic structures and energy dissipation during turbulent reconnection in the Earth's magnetotail
K. Bergstedt, H. Ji, J. Jara-Almonte +3
We present the first statistical study of magnetic structures and associated energy dissipation observed during a single period of turbulent magnetic reconnection, by using the \te…
Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena throughout the Universe
H. Ji, A. Alt, S. Antiochos +97
This white paper summarizes major scientific challenges and opportunities in understanding magnetic reconnection and related explosive phenomena as a fundamental plasma process.
Magnetic reconnection in partially ionized plasmas
Lei Ni, Hantao Ji, Nicholas A. Murphy +1
Magnetic reconnection has been intensively studied in fully ionized plasmas. However, plasmas are often partially ionized in astrophysical environments. The interactions between th…
Energy transfer and electron energization in collisionless magnetic reconnection for different guide-field intensities
F. Pucci, S. Usami, H. Ji +7
Electron dynamics and energization are one of the key components of magnetic field dissipation in collisionless reconnection. In 2D numerical simulations of magnetic reconnection,…
