In situ detection of the electron diffusion region of collisionless magnetic reconnection at the high-latitude magnetopause
Magnetic reconnection is the most fundamental energy-transfer mechanism in the universe that converts magnetic energy into heat and kinetic energy of charged particles. For reconnection to occur, the frozen-in condition must break down in a localized region, commonly called the ‘diffusion region’. I...
