Cluster observations of bidirectional beams caused by electron trapping during antiparallel reconnection
[1] So-called bidirectional electron beams have been observed by a number of spacecraft missions mainly in the inflow of reconnection regions. Here we show that these beam-like features in the electron distribution function are explained by electron trapping. The trapping is mainly controlled by a p...
