Experimental Evidence of Plasmoids in High- Magnetic Reconnection
J. A. Pearcy, M. J. Rosenberg, T. M. Johnson +6
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous and fundamental process in plasmas by which magnetic fields change their topology and release magnetic energy. Despite decades of research, th…
A novel kinetic mechanism for the onset of fast magnetic reconnection and plasmoid instabilities in collisionless plasmas
W. Fox, G. Fiksel, D. B. Schaeffer +9
Magnetic reconnection can explosively release magnetic energy when opposing magnetic fields merge and annihilate through a current sheet, driving plasma jets and accelerating non-t…
Fast magnetic reconnection in highly-extended current sheets at the National Ignition Facility
W. Fox, D. B. Schaeffer, M. J. Rosenberg +12
Fast magnetic reconnection was observed between magnetized laser-produced plasmas at the National Ignition Facility. Two highly-elongated plasma plumes were produced by tiling two…
Regimes of magnetic reconnection in colliding laser-produced magnetized plasma bubbles
K. V. Lezhnin, W. Fox, J. Matteucci +4
We conduct a multiparametric study of driven magnetic reconnection relevant to recent experiments on colliding magnetized laser produced plasmas using particle-in-cell simulations.…
Self-similar structure and experimental signatures of suprathermal ion distribution in inertial confinement fusion implosions
Grigory Kagan, D. Svyatskiy, H. G. Rinderknecht +4
The distribution function of suprathermal ions is found to be self-similar under conditions relevant to inertial confinement fusion hot-spots. By utilizing this feature, interferen…
