    • Topology of turbulence within collisionless plasma reconnection 

      Hnat, Bogdan; Chapman, Sandra; Watkins, Nicholas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-31)
      In near-collisionless plasmas, which are ubiquitous in astrophysics, entropy production relies on fully-nonlinear processes such as turbulence and reconnection, which lead to particle acceleration. Mechanisms for turbulent reconnection include multiple magnetic fux ropes interacting to generate thin current sheets which undergo reconnection, leading to mixing and magnetic merging and growth of ...
