"Ideal" tearing and the transition to fast reconnection in the weakly collisional MHD and EMHD regimes
Daniele Del Sarto, Fulvia Pucci, Anna Tenerani +1
This paper discusses the transition to fast growth of the tearing instability in thin current sheets in the collisionless limit where electron inertia drives the reconnection proce…

Magnetic reconnection: Self-similar current sheet collapse triggered by "ideal" tearing
Anna Tenerani, Marco Velli, Antonio Franco Rappazzo +1
We study, by means of MHD simulations, the onset and evolution of fast reconnection via the "ideal" tearing mode within a collapsing current sheet at high Lundquist numbers ($S\gg1…
