Ultrafast proton radiography of the magnetic fields generated by a laser-driven coil current
Lan Gao, Hantao Ji, Gennady Fiksel +3
Magnetic fields generated by a current flowing through a U-shaped coil connecting two copper foils were measured using ultrafast proton radiography. Two 1.25 kJ, 1-ns laser p…
Laboratory Study of Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection
H. Ji, J. Yoo, W. Fox +13
A concise review is given on the past two decades' results from laboratory experiments on collisionless magnetic reconnection in direct relation with space measurements, especially…
Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena throughout the Universe
H. Ji, A. Alt, S. Antiochos +97
This white paper summarizes major scientific challenges and opportunities in understanding magnetic reconnection and related explosive phenomena as a fundamental plasma process.
Fast magnetic reconnection in highly-extended current sheets at the National Ignition Facility
W. Fox, D. B. Schaeffer, M. J. Rosenberg +12
Fast magnetic reconnection was observed between magnetized laser-produced plasmas at the National Ignition Facility. Two highly-elongated plasma plumes were produced by tiling two…
Energy transfer and electron energization in collisionless magnetic reconnection for different guide-field intensities
F. Pucci, S. Usami, H. Ji +7
Electron dynamics and energization are one of the key components of magnetic field dissipation in collisionless reconnection. In 2D numerical simulations of magnetic reconnection,…
Regimes of magnetic reconnection in colliding laser-produced magnetized plasma bubbles
K. V. Lezhnin, W. Fox, J. Matteucci +4
We conduct a multiparametric study of driven magnetic reconnection relevant to recent experiments on colliding magnetized laser produced plasmas using particle-in-cell simulations.…
