X-ray imaging and electron temperature evolution in laser-driven magnetic reconnection experiments at the National Ignition Facility
V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, J. M. Molina, D. B. Schaeffer +13
We present results from X-ray imaging of high-aspect-ratio magnetic reconnection experiments driven at the National Ignition Facility. Two parallel, self-magnetized, elongated lase…
