Magnetic reconnection is one of the most important processes at work
in space
plasma environments, controlling energy storage, transport and
release. In
particular, it is crucial to the physics of the solar wind - magnetosphere
interaction
because it can explosively release stored energy, transforming it into
different forms
in the reconnection outflow. Magnetotail reconnection...

Recent studies show that cold ions (energies up to tens of eV) of
ionospheric origin are present in
the magnetosphere and often reach the magnetopause, participating in
magnetic reconnection. At
low latitudes they are abundant and even dominate over the hot
magnetospheric ions. Owing to
their smaller gyroradius, they remain magnetized down to smaller
scales than the hot ions and...

A large scale two-dimensional (2-D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation is
performed in
this paper to investigate electron acceleration in the dipolarization front
(DF) region
during magnetic reconnection. It is found that the DF is mainly driven
by an ion
outflow which also generates a positive potential region behind the DF.
The DF
propagates with an almost constant speed and...
