Explosive disruption of the current sheet
Description
This is a summary of the experimental study of nonlinear phenomena resulting from the formation of the current sheet and its subsequent disruption. The latter process begins with a local increase in the magnetic reconnection velocity and leads to significant changes in the magnetic configuration and a redistribution of the current density and plasma density. The current sheet disruption is connected with the rise of plasma turbulence and anomalous resistance
