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…
