Abstract.A 2-1/2 dimensional electromagnetic hybrid simulation was conducted to explore particle acceleration in the magnetic reconnection process in the Earth magnetotail. By adding a localized anomalous resistivity to the neutral sheet of initial static Harris solution, we realized a spontaneous magnetic reconnection. We found that two kinds of characteristic electric fields were generated
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
