3D simulation of lower-hybrid drift waves in strong guide field asymmetric reconnection in laboratory experiments

The magnetic reconnection experiment has recently seen short wavelength ([Formula: see text]) lower-hybrid waves near the electron diffusion region in strong guide field reconnection. Based on plasma parameters from experiment, we perform a three-dimensional fully kinetic simulation order to investigate generation of and their effects process. We find that low-beta regions around site are unstable drift instability propagating outflow direction, driven by difference between ion outflows. modify distributions, leading periodic opening closing gaps velocity space, provide small contribution anomalous resistivity. Finally, results discussed context space observations laboratory experiments.
