The meeting of astrophysical plasmas and their magnetic fields creates manyreconnection sites. We experimentally compare the reconnection rate oflaser-driven magnetic reconnection when it takes place at a single site andmultiple sites. For a single site, where the ram pressure dominates themagnetic pressure, the measured reconnection rate exceeds the well-establishedrate of 0.1. However, in the case of multiple close-by sites, we observed areduction of the reconnection rate. Hybrid-PIC simulations support thisobservation and suggest that the distortion of the Hall field as well as theconcomitant obstruction of one of the outflows are detrimental to the magneticreconnection rate.
