Toward a Multimodal Foundation Model for Plasma State Reconstruction
Bin Xia, Chuanfei Dong, Boting Li +9
Plasma experiments observe coupled physical states through sparse, heterogeneous, and incomplete diagnostics. We present a proof of concept toward a multimodal foundation model for…
Revisiting the MRX Electron Current Sheet Width with Semi-Collisional Kinetic Simulations at Hydrogen Mass Ratio
Sung Hyun Son, Adam Stanier, William Daughton +3
For over eighteen years, the electron current sheet measured in the Magnetic Reconnection Experiment (MRX) has stood a factor of 2--5 wider than predicted by MRX-like kinetic simul…
Excitation of the lower-hybrid drift instability in the outflow of electron-only magnetic reconnection
B. K. Russell, K. Sakai, Y. Zhang +17
We report experimental evidence for the lower-hybrid drift instability in the current sheet normal direction of electron-only magnetic reconnection. In our laser-driven capacitor-c…
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…
Statistical study of energy dissipation in magnetic structures during turbulent reconnection in the Earth's magnetotail
Rachel Wang, Hantao Ji, Adam Robbins +7
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous plasma phenomenon that plays a critical role in particle heating and energization. During reconnection, the topology of magnetic field rearran…
Laboratory study of the failed torus mechanism in arched, line-tied, magnetic flux ropes
Andrew Alt, Hantao Ji, Jongsoo Yoo +3
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are some of the most energetic and violent events in our solar system. The prediction and understanding of CMEs is of particular importance due to the…
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…
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…
