The role of guide field in magnetic reconnection driven by island coalescence
A. Stanier, W. Daughton, Andrei N. Simakov +5
A number of studies have considered how the rate of magnetic reconnection scales in large and weakly collisional systems by the modelling of long reconnecting current sheets. Howev…
Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection in the Laboratory
A. Raymond, C. F. Dong, A. McKelvey +21
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process involving an exchange of magnetic energy to plasma kinetic energy through changes in the magnetic field topology. In many astr…
Generation and Evolution of High-Mach Number, Laser-Driven Magnetized Collisionless Shocks in the Laboratory
Derek Schaeffer, Will Fox, Dan Haberberger +5
Shocks act to convert incoming supersonic flows to heat, and in collisionless plasmas the shock layer forms on kinetic plasma scales through collective electromagnetic effects. The…
On the Value of the Reconnection Rate
Luca Comisso, Amitava Bhattacharjee
Numerical simulations have consistently shown that the reconnection rate in certain collisionless regimes can be fast, on the order of , where and are the…
General Theory of the Plasmoid Instability
L. Comisso, M. Lingam, Y. -M. Huang +1
A general theory of the onset and development of the plasmoid instability is formulated by means of a principle of least time. The scaling relations for the final aspect ratio, tra…
A heuristic model for MRI turbulent stresses in Hall MHD
M. Lingam, A. Bhattacharjee
Although the Shakura-Sunyaev viscosity prescription has been highly successful in characterizing myriad astrophysical environments, it has proven to be partly inadequate in mod…
