Synergy of stochastic and systematic energization of plasmas during turbulent reconnection

The important characteristic of turbulent reconnection is that it combines large scale magnetic disturbances (\delta B/B \sim 1) with randomly distributed Unstable Current Sheets (UCSs). Many well known non linear MHD structures (strong turbulence, current sheet(s), shock(s)) lead asymptotically to the state of turbulent reconnection. We analyze in this article,... Show more
