无碰撞磁重联中电子耗散区的双尺度结构

Two-scale structure of the electron dissipation region during collisionless magnetic reconnection

M. A. Shay, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak

摘要:

用PIC方法模拟了无碰撞磁重联,结果表明,电子耗散区沿流出方向呈现明显的双尺度结构.发现电子电流层的长度随着电子质量的减小而减小,接近质子-电子等离子体的离子惯性长度。然而,令人惊讶的是,电子形成了一个高速流出射流,该射流与磁场保持解耦,并从x线向下游延伸了很大的距离。在非常大的系统中,重联的速率仍然很快,与边界条件和电子质量无关。

英文摘要:

Particle in cell (PIC) simulations of collisionless magnetic reconnection are presented that demonstrate that the electron dissipation region develops a distinct two-scale structure along the outflow direction. The length of the electron current layer is found to decrease with decreasing electron mass, approaching the ion inertial length for a proton-electron plasma. A surprise, however, is that the electrons form a high-velocity outflow jet that remains decoupled from the magnetic field and extends large distances downstream from the x-line. The rate of reconnection remains fast in very large systems, independent of boundary conditions and the mass of electrons.
