Research Abstract

We have developed a laboratory experimental facility using quasi-steady torus plasmas sustained by rotating magnetic field to simulate weakly-ionized magnetic reconnection. Magnetic reconnection condition was achieved by application of axial magnetic field generated from coaxial solenoid coil. Steep gradient of magnetic field, i.e. sheet current layer, was observed at the edge position of the torus plasma during axial field application.
