Example of exponentially enhanced magnetic reconnection driven by a spatially-bounded and laminar ideal flow
Allen H Boozer, Todd Elder
In laboratory and natural plasmas of practical interest, the spatial scale at which magnetic field lines lose distinguishability differs enormously from the scale of magn…

Impact of a minority relativistic electron tail interacting with a thermal plasma containing high-atomic-number impurities
Nathan A. Garland, Hyun-Kyung Chung, Christopher J. Fontes +6
A minority relativistic electron component can arise in both laboratory and naturally-occurring plasmas. In the presence of high-atomic-number ion species, the ion charge state dis…
