Abstract: High energy electron bunches from the laser-driven relativistic magnetic reconnection (MR) has been intensively studied. However, diagnostic methods for identifying such acceleration mechanism remain inadequate. This study utilizes 2.5-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations to explore a diagnostic… read more here.
