The Force Balance of Electrons During Kinetic Anti-parallel Magnetic Reconnection
J. Egedal, H. Gurram, S. Greess +2
Fully kinetic simulations are applied to the study of 2D anti-parallel reconnection, elucidating the dynamics by which the electron fluid maintains force balance within both the el…
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…
2D reconstruction of magnetotail electron diffusion region measured by MMS
J. M. Schroeder, J. Egedal, G. Cozzani +4
Models for collisionless magnetic reconnection in near-Earth space are distinctly characterized as 2D or 3D. In 2D kinetic models, the frozen-in law for the electron fluid is usual…
Comment on "Nonideal Fields Solve the Injection Problem in Relativistic Reconnection"
Fan Guo, Xiaocan Li, Omar French +7
Recently, Sironi (PRL, 128, 145102; S22) reported the correlation between particles accelerated into high energy and their crossings of regions with electric field larger than magn…
Infuence of mass ablation on ignition and burn propagation in layered fusion capsules
W. Daughton, B. J. Albright, S. M. Finnegan +4
After decades of research, recent laser-driven inertial fusion experiments have demonstrated rapid progress toward achieving thermonuclear ignition using capsule designs with cryog…
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…
Direct measurement of non-thermal electron acceleration from magnetically driven reconnection in a laboratory plasma
Abraham Chien, Lan Gao, Shu Zhang +24
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous astrophysical process that rapidly converts magnetic energy into some combination of plasma flow energy, thermal energy, and non-thermal energ…
