Scientific paper

Three-dimensional (3-D) effects of magnetic reconnection dynamics have been investigated experimentally by use of axially colliding plasma toroids with parallel and antiparallel toroidal magnetic fields. Reconnection speed is observed to increase as the reconnection angle between the merging field lines is increased from ~ 20 degree to 180 degree. This difference is attributed to the compressibility of the neutral current sheet that tends to increase with increasing the magnetic field component parallel to the reconnection (X) line.
