Magnetic reconnection
The fundamental physics of magnetic reconnection in laboratory and space plasmas is reviewed by discussing results from theory, numerical simulations, observations from space satellites, and recent results from laboratory plasma experiments. After a brief review of the well-known early work, representative recent experimental and theoretical works are discussed and the essence of significant mo...
متن کاملQuantitative Scaling of Magnetic Avalanches.
We provide the first quantitative comparison between Barkhausen noise experiments and recent predictions from the theory of avalanches for pinned interfaces, both in and beyond mean field. We study different classes of soft magnetic materials, including polycrystals and amorphous samples-which are characterized by long-range and short-range elasticity, respectively-both for thick and thin sampl...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Magnetic Reconnection
The importance of magnetic reconnection as an energy release mechanism in many solar, stellar, magnetospheric and astrophysical phenomena has long been recognised. Reconnection is the only mechanism by which magnetic fields can globally restructure, enabling them to access a lower energy state. Over the past decade, there have been some major advances in our understanding of threedimensional re...
متن کاملExplosive turbulent magnetic reconnection.
We report simulation results for turbulent magnetic reconnection obtained using a newly developed Reynolds-averaged magnetohydrodynamics model. We find that the initial Harris current sheet develops in three ways, depending on the strength of turbulence: laminar reconnection, turbulent reconnection, and turbulent diffusion. The turbulent reconnection explosively converts the magnetic field ener...
متن کاملExperimental studies of magnetic reconnection*
Laboratory magnetic reconnection experiments have been performed for nearly 20 years. Elegant experiments by Stenzel and Gekelman @R. L. Stenzel and W. Gekelman, Phys. Rev. Lett. 42, 1055 ~1979!; W. Gekelman and R. L. Stenzel, Phys. Rev. Lett. 54, 2414 ~1985!# focused on the measurement of field quantities with a single movable probe in a highly reproducible plasma. Observations included a very...
