In collisionless reconnection,the magnetic field near the separatrix is stronger than that around the X-line,so an electron-beam can be formed and flows toward the X-line,which leads to a decrease of the electron dens...

Two-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation is used to investigate electron dynamics in colli- sionless magnetic reconnection, and the proton/electron mass ratio is taken to be mi /me = 256. The results show tha...
