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…

Differentiable Programming for Plasma Physics: From Diagnostics to Discovery and Design
A. S. Joglekar, A. G. R. Thomas, A. L. Milder +3
Differentiable programming, enabled by automatic differentiation (AD), provides a robust framework for gradient-based optimization in computational plasma physics. While optimizati…

Study of magnetic reconnection at low- using laser-powered capacitor coils
H. Ji, L. Gao, G. Pomraning +10
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous fundamental process in space and astrophysical plasmas that rapidly converts magnetic energy into some combination of flow energy, thermal ene…
