Plasma sheet structure in the magnetotail: kinetic simulation and comparison with satellite observations
Paolo Ricci, Giovanni Lapenta, J. U. Brackbill
We use the results of a three-dimensional kinetic simulation of an Harris current sheet to propose an explanation and to reproduce the ISEE-1/2, Geotail, and Cluster observations o…
Electron acceleration and heating in collisionless magnetic reconnection
Paolo Ricci, Giovanni Lapenta, J. U. Brackbill
We discuss electron acceleration and heating during collisionless magnetic reconnection by using the results of implicit kinetic simulations of Harris current sheets. We consider a…
Kinetic simulations of collisionless magnetic reconnection in presence of a guide field
P. Ricci, J. U. Brackbill, W. Daughton +1
The results of kinetic simulations of magnetic reconnection in Harris current sheets are analyzed. A range of guide fields is considered to study reconnection in plasmas characteri…
