In this review we focus on the fundamental theory of magnetohydrodynamic reconnection,
together with applications to understanding a wide range of dynamic processes in the solar …

Magnetic flux emergence from the solar convection zone into the overlying atmosphere is
the driver of a diverse range of phenomena associated with solar activity. In this article, we …

Current sheets formed in magnetic reconnection events are found to be unstable to high-
wavenumber perturbations. The instability is very fast: its maximum growth rate scales as S …

A conceptual model of resistive magnetic reconnection via a stochastic plasmoid chain is
proposed. The global reconnection rate is shown to be independent of the Lundquist …

This review of scaling theories of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence aims to put the
developments of the last few years in the context of the canonical time line (from Kolmogorov …

Using two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations, we characterize the energy spectra of
particles accelerated by relativistic magnetic reconnection (without guide field) in …

Magnetic reconnection is the topological reconfiguration of the magnetic field in a plasma,
accompanied by the violent release of energy and particle acceleration. Reconnection is as …

Prompt gamma-ray burst (GRB) emission requires some mechanism to dissipate an
ultrarelativistic jet. Internal shocks or some form of electromagnetic dissipation are candidate …

Theoretical guidance is needed on two disruption questions:(1) When is a tokamak
operating in a metastable state in which loss of control is credible (avoidance question)?(2) …

A numerical study of magnetic reconnection in the large-Lundquist-number (S), plasmoid-
dominated regime is carried out for S up to 10 7⁠. The theoretical model of Uzdensky et …
