Pyakurel P, Shay M, Drake J, Phan T, Cassak P, Verniero J
Phys Rev Lett
. 2021 Oct;
127(15):155101.
PMID: 34677989
Observations in Earth's turbulent magnetosheath downstream of a quasiparallel bow shock reveal a prevalence of electron-scale current sheets favorable for electron-only reconnection where ions are not coupled to the reconnecting...

Eastwood J, Goldman M, Phan T, Stawarz J, Cassak P, Drake J, et al.
Phys Rev Lett
. 2021 Jan;
125(26):265102.
PMID: 33449730
Magnetic reconnection is of fundamental importance to plasmas because of its role in releasing and repartitioning stored magnetic energy. Previous results suggest that this energy is predominantly released as ion...

. 2019 May;
569(7757):E9.
PMID: 31073227
Change history: In this Letter, the y-axis values in Fig. 3f should go from 4 to -8 (rather than from 4 to -4), the y-axis values in Fig. 3h should...

Geophys Res Lett
. 2018 Sep;
45(8):3311-3318.
PMID: 30245534
Plain Language Summary: To understand the evolution of many space and astrophysical plasmas, it is imperative to know how fast magnetic reconnection processes the magnetic flux. Researchers found that reconnection...

Nature
. 2018 May;
557(7704):202-206.
PMID: 29743689
Magnetic reconnection in current sheets is a magnetic-to-particle energy conversion process that is fundamental to many space and laboratory plasma systems. In the standard model of reconnection, this process occurs...

Egedal J, Le A, Daughton W, Wetherton B, Cassak P, Burch J, et al.
Phys Rev Lett
. 2018 Feb;
120(5):055101.
PMID: 29481157
Fully kinetic simulations of asymmetric magnetic reconnection reveal the presence of magnetic-field-aligned beams of electrons flowing toward the topological magnetic x line. Within the ∼6d_{e} electron-diffusion region, the beams become...

Liu Y, Hesse M, Guo F, Daughton W, Li H, Cassak P, et al.
Phys Rev Lett
. 2017 Mar;
118(8):085101.
PMID: 28282209
Simulations suggest collisionless steady-state magnetic reconnection of Harris-type current sheets proceeds with a rate of order 0.1, independent of dissipation mechanism. We argue this long-standing puzzle is a result of...

PMID: 27835028
Supported by a kinetic simulation, we derive an exclusion energy parameter E_{X} providing a lower kinetic energy bound for an electron to cross from one inflow region to the other...
