@article{5598, author = {T. J. Schep}, title = {Magnetic Reconnection}, abstract = {This lecture deals with the concept of magnetic field lines and with the conservation of magnetic flux. In high temperature fusion devices like tokamaks flux conservation can be violated and reconnection can occur at closed magnetic field lines. Reconnection processes lead to changes in the global topology of the magnetic field.}, year = {1994}, journal = {Fusion Technology}, volume = {25}, number = {2T}, pages = {32-38}, month = {Mar}, isbn = {0748-1896}, language = {eng}, }
