Magnetic reconnection : 3D magnetic null points

Three dimensional magnetic null points are now accepted as important topological features at which magnetic reconnection occurs. However, the understanding of the processes involved is still far behind the well developed field of 2D X-point reconnection. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to prese...
