Electron Acceleration via Secondary Reconnection in the Separatrix Region of Magnetopause Reconnection

X. S. Fu,
Z. H. Zhong,
M. Zhou
et al.

Abstract: Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process known to play a crucial role in electron acceleration and heating, however, the mechanism of electron energization during reconnection is still not fully understood. This study introduces a novel electron acceleration mechanism in which electrons can be accelerated by secondary reconnection in the separatrix region. The secondary reconnection occurs in a thin current sheet resulted from the shear of the out‐of‐plane Hall magnetic fields of the primary magnetopause… Show more
