Laboratory evidence of electron pressure anisotropy driving plasmoid mediated magnetic reconnection
A. Sladkov, T. Waltenspiel, H. Ahmed +8
Plasmoid-driven magnetic reconnection in elongated current sheets is suspected to be an ubiquitous phenomenon in space and astrophysical plasmas, but the mechanisms driving its ons…
The structure of a perturbed magnetic reconnection electron diffusion region
G. Cozzani, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, D. B. Graham +9
We report in situ observations of an electron diffusion region (EDR) and adjacent separatrix region. We observe significant magnetic field oscillations near the lower hybrid freque…
In situ evidence of ion acceleration between consecutive reconnection jet fronts
Filomena Catapano, Alessandro Retino, Gaetano Zimbardo +21
Processes driven by unsteady reconnection can efficiently accelerate particles in many astrophysical plasmas. An example are the reconnection jet fronts in an outflow region. We pr…
In situ evidence of firehose instability in multiple reconnection
Alexandra Alexandrova, Alessandro Retinò, Andrey Divin +7
Energy conversion via reconnecting current sheets is common in space and astrophysical plasmas. Frequently, current sheets disrupt at multiple reconnection sites, leading to the fo…
In situ spacecraft observations of a structured electron diffusion region during magnetopause reconnection
Giulia Cozzani, Alessandro Retinò, Francesco Califano +18
The Electron Diffusion Region (EDR) is the region where magnetic reconnection is initiated and electrons are energized. Because of experimental difficulties, the structure of the E…
Study of ultra-high gradient acceleration in carbon nanotube arrays
J. Resta-López, A. Alexandrova, V. Rodin +5
Solid-state based wakefield acceleration of charged particles was previously proposed to obtain extremely high gradients on the order of 1-10 TeV/m. In recent years the possibility…
