摘要：
The reconnection scaling experiment (RSX), a linear device for studying three-dimensional magnetic reconnection in both collisional and collisionless laboratory plasmas, has been constructed at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Advanced experimental features of the RSX that lead to scientific advantages include the use of simple technology (commercial plasma guns) to create plasma and current channels. Physics motivations, design and construction features of the RSX, are presented. Basic plasma parameters that characterize the RSX are shown together with preliminary measurements of visible light emission during the merging of two parallel current channels.
