Numerical Simulation of Collisionless Driven Reconnection Controlled by Multi-Scale Physics in Open Systems
Dynamical process of magnetic reconnection controlled by multi-scale physics is investigated using a series of numerical simulation models developed for the analysis of magnetic reconnection in open systems. Two dissipation regions with different spatial scales are formed inside the kinetic regime and a new force balance state is realized there through the combined action of the Hall effect and...
متن کاملCollisionless Reconnection and Electron Demagnetization
Observable, dimensionless properties of the electron diffusion region of collisionless magnetic reconnection are motivated and benchmarked in two and three dimensional Particle In Cell (PIC) simulations as appropriate for measurements with present state of the art spacecraft. The dimensionless quantities of this paper invariably trace their origin to breaking the magnetization of the thermal el...
متن کاملCollisionless magnetic reconnection in space plasmas
*Correspondence: Rudolf A. Treumann, International Space Science Institute Bern, Hallerstrasse 6, CH-3012 Bern, Switzerland e-mail: [email protected] Magnetic reconnection, the merging of oppositely directed magnetic fields that leads to field reconfiguration, plasma heating, jetting and acceleration, is one of the most celebrated processes in collisionless plasmas. It requires the violation...
متن کاملChaos-induced resistivity in collisionless magnetic reconnection.
Magnetic null points act as scattering centers where particles describe chaotic orbits and the mixing effect increases the kinetic entropy. In an open system where convection of particles into/from the chaos region exists, the saturation of the entropy can be avoided, and continuous dissipation is achieved. The chaos-induced collisionless resistivity of ions enables fast magnetic reconnection. ...
متن کاملReconnection in Marginally Collisionless Accretion Disk Coronae
We point out that a conventional construction placed upon observations of accreting black holes, in which their nonthermal X-ray spectra are produced by inverse comptonization in a coronal plasma, suggests that the plasma is marginally collisionless. Recent developments in plasma physics indicate that fast reconnection takes place only in collisionless plasmas. As has recently been suggested fo...
