In the vicinity of magnetic reconnection, magnetic energy is transferred
into kinetic
energy. Such a region hence corresponds to a electrical load and it
should manifest
itself as large and positive values of the power density, E.J>>0, where
E and J are
the electric field and the current density, respectively. From simple
theoretical
arguments we find that an event with...

Magnetic reconnection redistributes energy by releasing magnetic
energy into plasma
kinetic energy - high speed bulk flows, heating, and particle
acceleration. A
significant portion of the energy released by magnetotail reconnection
appears to go
into ion heating, and the heating is anisotropic with the plasma
temperature
parallel to the magnetic field generally increasing more...

Oral
Understanding the wave properties in magnetic reconnection is very
important in
collisionless plasmas. The waves can transport the momentum and
energy between
the different species, resulting in the anomalous magnetic dissipation,
particle
heating, and the formation of non-thermal particles.
Observations in the Earth’s magnetosphere and laboratory
experiment have
shown...
