Multi-scale simulations of plasma with iPIC3D (2010, background): “For instance, the time scales of phenomena occurring in a magnetic confinement fusion reactor range from the icosecond period of electron oscillations (plasma and gyro periods), to the several seconds of the plasma confinement equired for self-sustained nuclear fusion [10,37,36].”
The Sigma Problem of the Crab Pulsar Wind (2003, background): “The Harris equilibrium is well-known to be unstable to the excitation of a variety of waves in the non-relativistic case — see, for example, Daughton (1999); Biskamp (2000) .”
General Theory of the Plasmoid Instability (2016, background): “This crucial instability, which serves as a trigger of fast reconnection, is the plasmoid instability [2], thus dubbed as it leads to the formation of plasmoids.”
The Case for Dynamic Models of Learners' Ontologies in Physics (2008, background): “In this excerpt, the speaker explains how energy is released during magnetic reconnection (Biskamp, 1996).”
Three-dimensional magnetic reconnection regimes: a review (2011, background): “Complementary reviews include those by Priest and Forbes (2000); Biskamp (2000); Zweibel and Yamada (2009); Yamada et al. (2010). In Section 2 we introduce some key measures and features of magnetic field structure in 3D that are crucial to understanding where and how reconnection operates in 3D, wh”
Scaling laws of resistive magnetohydrodynamic reconnection in the high-Lundquist-number, plasmoid-unstable regime (2010, background): “[6]) For weakly collisional systems such as the solar corona, the Lundquist number is typically very large (∼ 10(12) − 10(14)) and the Sweet-Parker reconnection time scale is of the order of years, much too slow to account for fast events such as solar flares.”
Non-thermal particle acceleration in collisionless relativistic electron-proton reconnection (2016, background): “Magnetic reconnection is a basic plasma process often leading to the violent release of magnetic energy through rapid rear- rangement of magnetic field geometry (e.g., Biskamp 2005; Zweibel & Yamada 2009; Yamada et al. 2010).”
On the relativistic magnetic reconnection (2005, background): “This process has been intensively studied both in laboratory plasma devices and in space (see recent monographs by Biskamp (2000) and Priest & Forbes (2000)).”
