The effect of a guide field on local energy conversion during asymmetric magnetic reconnection: Particle‐in‐cell simulations

PA Cassak, KJ Genestreti, JL Burch… - Journal of …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
We use theory and simulations to study how the out‐of‐plane (guide) magnetic field strength
modifies the location where the energy conversion rate between the electric field and the …

Larmor Electric Field in Symmetric Magnetic Reconnection

Y Yi, M Zhou, L Song, Z Zhong, Y Pang… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
The Larmor electric field (LEF) was previously suggested as a signature to identify the
diffusion region in asymmetry reconnection. Using 2.5 D particle-in-cell simulations, we …

Magnetic configurations, reconnection and energy transfers in space plasmas

S Fadanelli - 2020 - theses.hal.science
Throughout interplanetary space, plasma particles and magnetic fields play an endless
game of re-shaping themselves and exchanging energy. A key process in this regard is …
