High energy density magnetic reconnection experiments in colliding carbon plasma flows

This thesis presents a detailed study of magnetic reconnection in a quasi-two-dimensional pulsed-power driven laboratory experiment. These experiments were performed at the 1.4 MA, 240 ns rise time Magpie facility at Imperial College London. Initial experiments are presented which demonstrate the vi...
