Two-scale structure of the electron dissipation region during collisionless magnetic reconnection
M. A. Shay, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak
Particle in cell (PIC) simulations of collisionless magnetic reconnection are presented that demonstrate that the electron dissipation region develops a distinct two-scale structur…
