Description

The jets driven by magnetic reconnection in laser-plasma interactions are investigated experimentally. The diagnostics in the optical and X-ray ranges provide detailed information about the jet characteristics. The plasma jets perpendicular to and along the target surface are observed clearly, which is evident signatures of laser driven magnetic reconnection. The jet formation is also investigated for different experimental parameters.
