摘要
Recent experiments have observed magnetic reconnection in laser-produced high-energy-density (HED) plasma bubbles. We perform two-dimensional (2-D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations to investigate magnetic reconnection between two approaching HED plasma bubbles. It is found that the expanding velocity of the bubbles has a great influence on the process of magnetic reconnection. When the expanding velocity is small, a single X line reconnection is formed. However, when the expanding velocity is sufficiently large, we can observe a plasmoid in the vicinity of the X line. At the same time, the structures of the electromagnetic field in HED plasma reconnection are similar to that in Harris current sheet reconnection.
