“…Typical signatures of reconnection include X-rays, localized heating, and magnetized waves. This process is considered to be responsible for large impulsive releases of energy in solar flares, magnetic storms in Earth's magnetotail, disruptions in fusion devices, and laboratory circumstances simulating these solar and space plasmas (Cassak et al, 2008;Gekelman et al, 2018;Marshall et al, 2018;Moser & Bellan, 2012;Priest & Forbes, 2000;Xiao et al, 2010;Yamada et al, 2016). In these systems, the collisionless reconnection rate is typically orders of magnitude faster than resistive reconnection (Brown et al, 2006;Øieroset et al, 2001;Yamada et al, 2006).…”
