Regimes of the Electron Diffusion Region in Magnetic Reconnection

Regimes of the Electron Diffusion Region in Magnetic Reconnection

The electron diffusion region during magnetic reconnection lies in different regimes depending on the pressure anisotropy, which is regulated by the properties of thermal electron orbits. In kinetic simulations at the weakest guide fields, pitch angle mixing in velocity space causes the outflow elec...
