An Experimental Platform for the Study on Magnetic Reconnection in Laboratory Plasmas

  • In order to investigate electron dynamics near the electron diffusion region in magnetic reconnection process, an upgrade in the Linear Magnetized Plasma (LMP) device is accomplished at the University of Science and Technology of China. Radio frequency (RF) helicon discharge is used to generate a quasi-stationary plasma, and a time-dependent magnetic field is applied to the plasma, which exhibits an X-type neutral point in vacuum. A two-dimensional sophisticated mobile platform is built up, providing a high spatial resolution, below 0.5mm, for the diagnostics.
