during an event called
magnetic reconnection where the lines explosively collide, the particles are shot off their trajectories, as if they were fired from a cannon.
Other projects launched
during Prager's tenure include a new facility to investigate
magnetic reconnection, an explosive process that is found throughout the universe; a plasma nanotechnology laboratory, and fledgling activities in mass separation using ideas from plasma physics.
Three - dimensional simulations have reinforced this theory, showing fan - shaped jets being formed
during shearing
reconnection between horizontal
magnetic fields and a vertical current sheet, with the base of the jets corresponding to the location of
magnetic reconnection [6].
