Two Phases

<p>It is still unresolved that how magnetic reconnection is triggered in the collisionless environment. In this talk, we will present that the reconnection onset consists of two phases: the electron phase and ion phase. In the electron phase, the electrons are significantly energized and super-alfvenic electron jets are created while the ion bulk flows haven't been formed and the ions haven't been heated. Later on, the ion jets are produced together with the electron jets in the ion phase. The main reason for such two phases is discussed. A particle-in-cell simulation was performed to realize these two phases during reconnection onset. </p><p> </p>

Observation Results

Abstract. We studied the evolutions of double layers which appear after the magnetic reconnection through two-dimensional electromagnetic particle-in-cell simulation. The simulation results show that the double layers are formed in the plasma sheet boundary layer after magnetic reconnection. At first, the double layers which have unipolar structures are formed. And then the double layers turn into bipolar structures, which will couple with another new weak bipolar structure. Thus a new double layer or tripolar structure comes into being. The double layers found in our work are about several ten Debye lengths, which accords with the observation results. It is suggested that the electron beam formed during the magnetic reconnection is responsible for the production of the double layers.
