Anomalous Heating and Plasmoid Formation in a Driven Magnetic Reconnection Experiment

Anomalous Heating and Plasmoid Formation in a Driven Magnetic Reconnection Experiment

We present a detailed study of magnetic reconnection in a quasi-two-dimensional pulsed-power driven laboratory experiment. Oppositely directed magnetic fields (B=3  T), advected by supersonic, sub-Alfvénic carbon plasma flows (V[subscript in]=50  km/s), are brought together and mutually annihilate i...
