Magnetic field annihilation and charged particle acceleration in ultra-relativistic laser plasmas

Abstract: Magnetic reconnection driven by laser plasma interactions attracts great interests in the recent decades. Motivated by the rapid development of the laser technology, the ultra strong magnetic field generated by the laser-plasma accelerated electrons provides unique environment to investigate the relativistic magnetic field annihilation and reconnection. It opens a new way for understanding relativistic regimes of fast magnetic field dissipation particularly in space plasmas, where the large scale magnetic fiel… Show more

“…Other methods of organizing relativistic magnetic reconnection have been theoretically proposed as alternative approaches. For example, in [12][13][14][15][16][17] it is proposed to observe an antiparallel configuration of magnetic fields during a parallel propagation of two ultrashort superintense laser pulses in transparent plasma. In plasma wakefields generated by them, the azimuthal magnetic field is observed.…”
