Magnetic reconnection at the dayside magnetopause is a crucial facet
of solar
wind-magnetospheric coupling, as it drives magnetospheric convection
and is necessary
for magnetic energy storage in the magnetotail. Many fundamental
questions about
dayside reconnection remain insufficiently answered quantitatively and
even
qualitatively, such as the location and local efficiency of...

The primary goal of the current NASA-MMS mission is to "identify and
study diffusion
regions during magnetic reconnection in Earth's magnetopause and
magnetotail. Yet
the term diffusion region is often misunderstood and can be
ambiguous. Different
conditions for a region to be a "diffusion region" are interpreted
theoretically, related
to each other and applied to 2D PIC...
