Abstract

Measurement of the in‐plane Lorentz force and the out‐of‐plane magnetic field associated with the Hall electric field near the reconnection zone in the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment (SSX) confirms expectations, based on simulation, theory and spacecraft data, that the quadrupolar out‐of‐plane magnetic field is a signature of collisionless effects in magnetic reconnection with a weak guide field.
