Abstract The Particle-In-Cell (PIC) method has been developed by Oscar Buneman, Charles
Birdsall, Roger W. Hockney, and John Dawson in the 1950s and, with the advances of …

A new measure to identify a small-scale dissipation region in collisionless magnetic
reconnection is proposed. The energy transfer from the electromagnetic field to plasmas in …

We perform resistive magnetohydrodynamic simulations to study the internal structure of
current sheets that form during solar eruptions. The simulations start with a vertical current …

Reconnection of the self-generated magnetic fields in laser-plasma interaction was first
investigated experimentally by Nilson et al.[Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 255001 (2006) PRLTAO …

We analyze a magnetotail reconnection onset event on 3 July 2017 that was observed
under otherwise quiescent magnetospheric conditions by a fortuitous conjunction of six …

The Geotail spacecraft made in situ observations of magnetic reconnection on 15 May 2003
in the near‐Earth magnetotail at a radial distance of 28 RE when a moderate substorm …

Abstract This White Paper outlines the importance of addressing the fundamental science
theme “How are charged particles energized in space plasmas” through a future ESA …

Magnetic reconnection is crucial in understanding magnetospheric dynamics and aurorae
processes at planets. In planetary magnetospheres, magnetic reconnection has often been …

Magnetic reconnection, a fundamental plasma process, releases magnetic energy and
converts it to particle energy, by accelerating and heating ions and electrons. This energy …

We present results from the reconstruction of the electron diffusion region of magnetotail
reconnection observed by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft on 11 July …
