Factors Controlling the Statistics of Magnetic Reconnection in MHD Turbulence
M. B. Khan, M. A. Shay, S. Oughton +9
We study the statistics of dynamical quantities associated with magnetic reconnection events embedded in a sea of strong background magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence using direc…

Magnetic reconnection-driven energization of protons up to 400 keV at the near-Sun heliospheric current sheet
M. I. Desai, J. F. Drake, T. Phan +22
We report observations of direct evidence of energetic protons being accelerated above ~400 keV within the reconnection exhaust of a heliospheric current sheet (HCS) crossing by NA…
