Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process in plasma physics that occurs when magnetic field lines from different magnetic domains converge, break, and reconnect in a new configuration. This phenomenon is particularly significant in astrophysical and space contexts, such as in the Sun's corona, Earth’s magnetosphere, and in fusion research. In more detail, magnetic reconnection can be described as follows: 1. **Configuration**: It typically involves two oppositely directed magnetic fields.
