Transition from ion-coupled to electron-only reconnection: Basic physics and implications for plasma turbulence
P. Sharma Pyakurel, M. A. Shay, T. D. Phan +9
Using kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, we simulate reconnection conditions appropriate for the magnetosheath and solar wind, i.e., plasma beta (ratio of gas pressure to…

Exploring the Statistics of Magnetic Reconnection X-points in Kinetic Particle-in-Cell (PIC) Turbulence
Colby C. Haggerty, Tulasi N. Parashar, William H. Matthaeus +5
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous phenomenon in turbulent plasmas. It is an important part of the turbulent dynamics and heating of space and astrophysical plasmas. We examine…
