Phase-space Analysis of Ordered and Disordered Nonthermal Ion Energization during Magnetic Reconnection
Anomalous ion heating is frequently observed to accompany magnetic reconnection, yet there is little consensus on its origin. Instead of the usual velocity-space analysis, we use phase-space analysis to exhaustively explain how ions are nonthermally energized during collisionless, antiparallel magne...
