Formation of a localized acceleration potential during magnetic reconnection with a guide field
Magnetic reconnection near the surface of the sun and in the Earth's magnetotail is associated with the production of highly energetic electrons. Direct acceleration in the reconnection electric field has been proposed as a possible mechanism for energizing these electrons. Here, however, we us...
