Pseudo-Maxwellian Velocity Distribution Formed by the Pickup-like Process in Magnetic Reconnection

Focusing on ring-shaped ion velocity distributions with a finite width formed in magnetic reconnection in the presence of a guide magnetic field, intriguing properties such as the formation mechanism, a significant change in the shape, and necessary conditions for the change are investigated by mean...
