We introduce a technique for evaluating the changing connectivity of a vector field whose integral curves (field lines) form tangled tubular bundles. Applications of such fields include magnetic flux ropes, relativistic plasma jets, stirred two-dimen... Read More about Quantifying reconnective activity in braided vector fields.
