Proton imaging has become a key diagnostic for measuring electromagnetic fields in high-
energy-density (HED) laboratory plasmas. Compared to other techniques for diagnosing …

Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma physics process in which ideal-MHD's
frozen-in constraints are broken and the magnetic field topology is dramatically re-arranged …

Laboratory generation of strong magnetic fields opens new frontiers in plasma and beam
physics, astro-and solar-physics, materials science and atomic and molecular physics …

Turbulent magnetic reconnection is believed to occur in astrophysical plasmas, and it has
been suggested to be a trigger of solar flares. It often occurs in long stretched and …

Magnetic reconnection is a process by which oppositely directed magnetic field lines
passing through a plasma undergo dramatic rearrangement, converting magnetic potential …

Observations of magnetic reconnection between colliding plumes of magnetized laser-
produced plasma are presented. Two counterpropagating plasma flows are created by …

A distinctive way of quantitatively imaging inertial fusion implosions has resulted in the
characterization of two different types of electromagnetic configurations and in the …

We present the first experimental study of plasmoid formation in a magnetic reconnection
layer undergoing rapid radiative cooling, a regime relevant to extreme astrophysical …

Reconnection of the self-generated magnetic fields in laser-plasma interaction was first
investigated experimentally by Nilson et al.[Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 255001 (2006) PRLTAO …

The paper is devoted to the prospects of using the laser radiation interaction with plasmas in
the laboratory relativistic astrophysics context. We discuss the dimensionless parameters …
