Kinetic simulations of magnetic reconnection in presence of a background O+ population
Stefano Markidis, Giovanni Lapenta, Lapo Bettarini +3
Particle-in-Cell simulations of magnetic reconnection with an H+ current sheet and a mixed background plasma of H+ and O+ ions are completed using physical mass ratios. Four main r…

Self-consistent Seeding of the Interchange Instability in Dipolarization Fronts
Giovanni Lapenta, Lapo Bettarini
We report a 3D magnetohydrodynamics simulation that studies the formation of dipolarization fronts during magnetotail reconnection. The crucial new feature uncovered in the present…
