Numerical simulation of ion dynamics in the magnetotail magnetic turbulence: On collisionless conductivity

The ion dynamics in the distant Earth's magnetotail is studied in the case that a cross tail electric field and reconnection parity magnetic turbulence are present in the neutral sheet. A test particle simulation is performed for the ions, and moments of the ion distribution function are obtain...
