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…

Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence system for Space and Phase-resolved Ion Velocity Distribution Function Measurements
Sung Hyun Son, Ivan Romadanov, Nirbhav Singh Chopra +1
In this work, we present a planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) system for two-dimensional (2D) spatial and phase-resolved ion velocity distribution function (IVDF) measurement…
