Role of Magnetic Reconnection in Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence

Role of Magnetic Reconnection in Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence

The current understanding of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence envisions turbulent eddies which are anisotropic in all three directions. In the plane perpendicular to the local mean magnetic field, this implies that such eddies become current-sheetlike structures at small scales. We analyze the r...
