Abstract

The magnetic reconnection phenomenon has been repeatedly observed in laser plasmas. A fast magnetic-reconnection model driven by the ponderomotive force was developed to explain the phenomenon in two-beam laser-solid interactions. Properties of the magnetic-reconnection process, such as the reconnection time scale and jet velocity, are obtained with classical values of the Spitzer resistivity. Our results are consistent with experimental measurements.
