Formation of super-Alfvénic electron jets during laser-driven magnetic reconnection at the Shenguang-II facility: particle-in-cell simulations

Magnetic reconnection experiments in high-energy-density (HED) laser-produced plasmas have recently been conducted at the Shenguang-II (SG-II) facility. Two plasma bubbles and a ‘frozen-in’ magnetic field are generated by irradiating an Al foil using two laser beams. As the two bubbles with opposing...
