29. Multi-scales physics of magnetic reconnection in hot plasmas (I.4)

Magali MURAGLIA

10/5/23, 9:00 AM

Invited

Magnetic reconnection consists in a modification of magnetic field topology leading to the formation of island-shaped magnetic structures. Magnetic reconnection is ubiquitous in magnetized plasmas. It is found in space plasmas (with the well-known example of sunspots of the solar flares[1]) as well as in fusion plasmas on earth[2].
The idea of the non-conservation of magnetic connectivity...

92. New insights in current sheet instability theory through combined gyrofluid and gyrokinetic approaches (I.15)

Camille Granier

10/5/23, 9:50 AM

Invited

This talk introduces the application of a Hamiltonian gyrofluid approach to investigate magnetic reconnection and associated secondary instabilities, while considering finite Larmor radius corrections, parallel magnetic field fluctuations, and electron inertia. During the nonlinear development of spontaneous magnetic reconnection, non-collisional current sheets form, characterized by their...
