Description
Laser driven magnetic reconnection (LDMR) is constructed with self-
generated B fields
has been experimentally and theoretically studied extensively, where
more than
Mega-Gauss strong B fields are spontaneously generated in high-power
laser-plasma
interactions, which located on the target surface and produced by non-
parallel
temperature and density gradients of expanding plasmas. For the
properties of short
lived and strong B fields in laser plasmas, LDMR opened up a new
territory in a
parameter regime not covered before. Here we will report the recent
LDMR
experimental results performed on Shenguang II lasers, which is aimed
to understand
the basic physical processes, such as particle accelerations, scale of
diffusion region,
and guide fields effects et al.
