Kinetic Simulations Verifying Reconnection Rates Measured in the Laboratory, Spanning the Ion-Coupled to Near Electron-Only Regimes
Samuel Greess, Jan Egedal, Adam Stanier +6
The rate of reconnection characterizes how quickly flux and mass can move into and out of the reconnection region. In the Terrestrial Reconnection EXperiment (TREX), the rate at wh…
Magnetic reconnection in the era of exascale computing and multiscale experiments
Hantao Ji, William Daughton, Jonathan Jara-Almonte +3
Astrophysical plasmas have the remarkable ability to preserve magnetic topology, which inevitably gives rise to the accumulation of magnetic energy within stressed regions includin…
Astrophysical explosions revisited: collisionless coupling of debris to magnetized plasma
Ari Le, Dan Winske, Adam Stanier +4
The coupling between a rapidly expanding cloud of ionized debris and an ambient magnetized plasma is revisited with a hybrid (kinetic ion/fluid electron) simulation code that allow…
Laboratory verification of electron-scale reconnection regions modulated by a three-dimensional instability
S. Greess, J. Egedal, A. Stanier +9
During magnetic reconnection in collisionless space plasma, the electron fluid decouples from the magnetic field within narrow current layers, and theoretical models for this proce…
A drift kinetic model for the expander region of a magnetic mirror
Blake A. Wetherton, Ari Le, Jan Egedal +4
We present a drift kinetic model for the free expansion of a thermal plasma out of a magnetic nozzle. This problem relates to plasma space propulsion systems, natural environments…
Mode Converting Alfvén Waves from Magnetic Reconnection Enhancing the Energy Source for the Aurora Borealis
Harsha Gurram, Jan Egedal, William Daughton
Previous studies have concluded that the Hall magnetic field structures generated during magnetic reconnection are carried away by kinetic Alfvén waves (KAW). Here we apply a kinet…
