Properties of magnetic reconnection in MHD turbulence
Numerical simulations of two-dimensional Magnetohydrodynamic (2D MHD) turbulence reveal the presence of a huge number of sites where magnetic reconnection locally occurs. The properties of this ensemble of reconnection events, that are spontaneously generated by turbulence, have been studied. The associated reconnection rates, computed as the electric field at the neutral points, are broadly di...
متن کاملMagnetic reconnection in two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence.
Systematic analysis of numerical simulations of two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence reveals the presence of a large number of X-type neutral points where magnetic reconnection occurs. We examine the statistical properties of this ensemble of reconnection events that are spontaneously generated by turbulence. The associated reconnection rates are distributed over a wide range of value...

Measurements are presented from the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment ~SSX! @M. R. Brown, Phys. Plasmas 6, 1717 ~1999!# showing a population of superthermal, super-Alfvénic ions with Ē >90 eV and Emax>200 eV accelerated by reconnection activity in three-dimensional magnetic structures. These energetic ions are temporally and spatially correlated with three-dimensional magnetic reconnection events...

متن کاملInternal Shocks in the Magnetic Reconnection Jet in Solar Flares: Multiple Fast Shocks Created by the Secondary Tearing Instability
Space solar missions such as Yohkoh and RHESSI observe the hard Xand gamma-ray emission from energetic electrons in impulsive solar flares. Their energization mechanism, however, is unknown. In this paper, we suggest that the internal shocks are created in the reconnection jet and that they are possible sites of particle acceleration. We examine how magnetic reconnection creates the multiple sh...
