Fast reconnection in high-Lundquist-number plasmas due to the plasmoid Instability

TL;DR: In this article, the scaling of the growth rate of the most rapidly growing plasmoid instability with respect to the Lundquist number is shown to follow from the classical dispersion relation for tearing modes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fast Reconnection in High-Lundquist-Number Plasmas Due to Secondary Tearing Instabilities

TL;DR: In this paper, the scaling of the growth rate of the fastest growing instability with respect to the Lundquist number is shown to follow from the classical dispersion relation for tearing modes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observation of energetic electrons within magnetic islands

TL;DR: In this article, the first evidence of the link between energetic electrons and magnetic islands during reconnection in the Earth's magnetosphere was reported, which suggests that energetic electron fluxes peak at sites of compressed density within islands, which imposes a new constraint on theories of electron acceleration.
