Revisiting the MRX Electron Current Sheet Width with Semi-Collisional Kinetic Simulations at Hydrogen Mass Ratio

Sung Hyun Son, Adam Stanier, William Daughton +3

For over eighteen years, the electron current sheet measured in the Magnetic Reconnection Experiment (MRX) has stood a factor of 2--5 wider than predicted by MRX-like kinetic simul…
