The Grant DE-FG-02-00ER54712, "Experimental Studies of Collisionless Reconnection Processes in Plasmas", financed within the DoE/NSF, spanned a period from September, 2003 to August, 2007. It partly supported an MIT Research scientist, two graduate students and material expenses. The grant enabled the operation of a basic plasma physics experiment (on magnetic reconnection) at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center and the MIT Physics Department. A strong educational component characterized this work throughout, with the participation of a large number of graduate and undergraduate students and interns to the experimental activities.
