Abstract

Magnetic reconnection in a relativistic electron magnetization regime was observed in a laboratory plasma produced by a high-intensity, large energy, picoseconds laser pulse. Magnetic reconnection conditions realized with a laser-driven several kilotesla magnetic field is comparable to that in the accretion disk corona of black hole systems, i.e., Cygnus X-1. We observed particle energy distributions of reconnection outflow jets, which possess a power-law component in a high-energy range. The hardness of the observed spectra could explain the hard-state x-ray emission from accreting black hole systems.

摘要

在由高强度、大能量的皮秒激光脉冲产生的实验室等离子体中，观测到了相对论电子磁化状态下的磁重联现象。利用激光驱动的几千特斯拉磁场实现的磁重联条件，与黑洞系统（即天鹅座X-1）吸积盘日冕中的条件相当。我们观测到了重联外流喷流的粒子能量分布，其在高能范围内具有幂律分量。观测到的光谱硬度可以解释吸积黑洞系统的硬态X射线发射。
