Plasmoid instability in the semi-collisional regime

We investigate analytically and numerically the semi-collisional regime of the plasmoid instability, defined by the inequality 𝛿 [subscript]SP << 𝜌 [subscript]s << 𝛿 [subscript]in, where 𝛿 [subscript]SP is the width of a Sweet-Parker current sheet, 𝜌 [subscript]s is the ion sound Larmor...
