Magnetic Reconnection Onset via Disruption of a Forming Current Sheet by the Tearing Instability
Dmitri A. Uzdensky, Nuno F. Loureiro
The recent realization that Sweet-Parker current sheets are violently unstable to the secondary tearing (plasmoid) instability implies that such current sheets cannot occur in real…

Ion and electron heating during magnetic reconnection in weakly collisional plasmas
R. Numata, N. F. Loureiro
Magnetic reconnection and associated heating of ions and electrons in strongly magnetised, weakly collisional plasmas are studied by means of gyrokinetic simulations. It is shown t…
