        When a fusion plasma is above a critical value of beta, 
neoclassical tearing modes
are destabilized.  The resulting magnetic islands can grow to 
large size, allowing
fast escape of the plasma from the fusion machine.  The 
primary tactic for preventing
tearing modes and reducing the size of magnetic islands in 
fusion machines is to
apply current inside the magnetic islands.  In...

        Collisionless magnetic reconnection is enabled by electron 
scale mechanisms and its 
dynamic is mainly controlled by ion scale processes. 
Whenever the to plasmas on both 
sides of the current sheet have different properties, a lot of 
well-known processes and 
their associated signatures are vastly changed. In this 
presentation, I will explain how 
one can highlight the regions of...
