Determination of a macro-to micro-scale progression leading to a magnetized plasma disruption

B Seo, P Wongwaitayakornkul, MA Haw… - Physics of …, 2020‏ - pubs.aip.org
We report the observations of a plasma jet evolving through a macro-to micro-scale
progression sequence. This leads to a fast magnetic reconnection that results in the jet …
