Collisionless Reconnection in Magnetohydrodynamic and Kinetic Turbulence
Collisionless Reconnection in Magnetohydrodynamic and Kinetic Turbulence
It has recently been proposed (Loureiro & Boldyrev 2017; Mallet et al. 2017) that the inertial interval in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence is terminated at small scales not by a Kolmogorov-like dissipation region, but rather by a new sub-inertial interval mediated by tearing instability. However, many astrophysical plasmas are nearly collisionless …
