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…
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…
The FLARE Facility
Hantao Ji, Jongsoo Yoo, Peiyun Shi +53
The Facility for Laboratory Reconnection Experiments (FLARE) has been constructed to study magnetic reconnection in multiple X-line regimes relevant to space, astrophysical, and fu…
Plasma Flow Generation and Particle Acceleration from Expanding Magnetic Bubbles
Yang Zhang, Brandon K. Russell, Geoffrey Pomraning +9
Impulsive plasma dynamics in the laboratory are often driven by rising electric currents, yet their quantitative plasma response has not been well established. By means of fully ki…
