Energy Partition between Ion and Electron of Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection

The plasma heating during collisionless magnetic reconnection is investigated using particle-in-cell simulations. We analyze the time evolution of the plasma temperature associated with the motion of the reconnecting flux tube, where the plasma temperature is defined as the second-order moment of th...
