Energy Conversion by Magnetic Reconnection in Multiple Ion Temperature Plasmas
Abstract Magnetic reconnection is a process that converts magnetic energy into kinetic energy, both bulk and thermal. We study the energy partition in magnetotail reconnection in the presence of cold ion populations of ionospheric origin using kinetic simulations. We compare two simulations with one...
