Dispersive Waves and Magnetic Reconnection Alex Flanagan (University of Wisconsin) J. F. Drake (UMD), M. Swisdak (UMD)

Magnetic Reconnection? Magnetic energy converted to kinetic and thermal energy Occurs in solar corona, magnetosphere, laboratory plasma experiments, and even at edge of solar system

Generalized Ohm’s Law

Dispersive Waves

Sweet-Parker v Fast Reconnection

PIC Simulations Kinetic Particle-in-Cell Simulations Look for: Size and scaling of dissipation region Scaling of reconnection rate Actual reconnection rate of system

Conclusions Magnetic reconnection is fast in parameter regimes where dispersive waves are possible There is not a sharp transition between fast and slow reconnection The parameters we use are similar to those found in solar wind and solar corona
