Statistical study of energy dissipation in magnetic structures during turbulent reconnection in the Earth's magnetotail
Rachel Wang, Hantao Ji, Adam Robbins +7
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous plasma phenomenon that plays a critical role in particle heating and energization. During reconnection, the topology of magnetic field rearran…
