Equations of State for Collisionless Guide-Field Reconnection
Direct in situ observation of magnetic reconnection in the Earth’s magnetotail as well as kinetic numerical studies have recently shown that the electron pressure in a collisionless reconnection region is strongly anisotropic. This anisotropy is mainly caused by the trapping of electrons in parallel...
