Search for the electron diffusion region of collionless magnetic reconnection on Polar mission
The electron physics in the collisionless magnetic reconnection is studied using data from the Polar spacecraft. Among the types of discontinuities in space plasmas, the Electron Diffusion Region (EDR) at the center of the reconnection has the theoretically unique properties that its thickness is of...
