Current structure and flow pattern on the electron separatrix in reconnection region
Abstract Results from 2.5D Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of symmetric reconnection with negligible guide field reveal that the accessible boundary of the electrons accelerated in the magnetic reconnection region is displayed by enhanced electron nongyrotropy downstream from the X-line. The boun...
