Abstract
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process in the universe, in which magnetic field energy is converted into plasma kinetic energy associated with a topological change in the magnetic field. Magnetic reconnections have been extensively investigated in space in the form of solar terrestrial plasmas, and also in laboratories in the form of magnetic confinement plasmas and laser-produced plasmas. Macroscopic features of magnetic reconnections can be well described in the context of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) across a wide variety of research fields. However, how the kinetic regime of magnetic reconnection should be connected to the macroscopic MHD regime is still an open question. It is generally assumed that electron dynamics play an essential role in the triggering mechanism of magnetic reconnections. In this review, we discuss magnetic reconnections on the electron scale, focusing in particular on laboratory experiments using high-power lasers.
