Laboratory Study of Extended Electron Jets during Reconnection on TREX

The Terrestrial Reconnection EXperiment (TREX) at the Wisconsin Plasma Physics Laboratory (WiPPL) studies collisionless magnetic reconnection. Pairing experimental results with results from Vector Particle In Cell (VPIC) simulations we identify electron jets that extend into the outflow in highly collisionless regimes. We examine the regimes in which these electron jets show up and measure the anisotropic pressure effects using a newly development electron pressure anisotropy probe. Using a newly developed drive cylinder that drastically increases the Lundquist Number, we explore new physics that may be present in the collisionless regime.
