Identifying the electron diffusion region in a realistic simulation of Earth's magnetotail
Abstract A historic challenge to understanding geomagnetic activity is determining where in Earth's magnetotail magnetic energy is converted into particle energy and heat by magnetic reconnection. Key to unravel this fundamental process is in determining the location and extent of the electron...
