Reconnection Rate and Transition from Ion-coupled to Electron-only Reconnection

Standard collisionless magnetic reconnection couples with both electron and ion dynamics. Recently, a new type of magnetic reconnection, electron-only magnetic reconnection without ion outflow, has been observed, and its reconnection rate has been found to be much higher than that in ion-coupled rec...
