Magnetic Reconnection, Turbulence, and Particle Acceleration: Observations in the Earth's Magnetotail

Abstract We report observations of turbulent dissipation and particle acceleration from large‐amplitude electric fields (E) associated with strong magnetic field (B) fluctuations in the Earth's plasma sheet. The turbulence occurs in a region of depleted density with anti‐earthward flows followe...
