摘要
In a very large laboratory plasma the process of magnetic-field-line reconnection has been diagnosed carefully. The temporal evolution of a narrow (∼3cωpe) neutral layer with Petschek slow shocks is observed. Electrostatic fields are found to be as important as induced electric fields. © 1979 The American Physical Society.
