Current Sheets and Plasmoid Instability

This lecture by Amitava Bhattacharjee from Princeton University explores the physics of current sheets and plasmoid instability, a critical topic in plasma physics research. Discover the fundamental properties and behaviors of current sheets, understand the mechanisms behind plasmoid formation, and learn about the instabilities that can develop in these plasma structures. The presentation delves into theoretical frameworks and practical applications relevant to fusion energy research, space physics, and astrophysical phenomena.
