  1. 331. Magnetic Reconnection in Plasma Turbulence: from MHD to Vlasov Models
    Dr Sergio Servidio (University of Calabria)

    Workshop, August 10-14
    Invited
    Systematic analysis of numerical simulations of two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (2D MHD) turbulence reveals the presence of a large number of X-type neutral points, where magnetic reconnection locally occurs [1]. The associated reconnection rates are distributed over a wide range of values and scales, exhibiting a good agreement with existing theories of magnetic reconnection....

    Oral
    Lower hybrid waves in magnetic reconnection regions Lower hybrid waves are strong plasma waves that are often excited within thin boundaries that form in the vicinity of magnetic reconnection regions. These waves can be excited by sharp gradients in the density that can form along the separatrices or at the front of reconnection jets. The wave length scale is on the order of the...

  3. 369. Whistler-wave hypothesis for magnetic reconnection
    Dr Narita Yasuhito (Austrian Academy of Sciences)

    Workshop, August 10-14
    Oral
    A wave-driven scenario of magnetic reconnection is presented, the whistler-wave hypothesis, to explain the triggering mechanism of the reconnection in space and astrophysical plasmas. Magnetic reconnection releases a huge amount of energy on a short time scale, and is believed to be in operation in the phenomena of auroral substorms, flares, and coronal mass ejections. The...
