Role of electron temperature in acceleration mechanism of collisionless magnetic reconnection

Hirota, Makoto; Morrison, P. J.*; Ishii, Yasutomo; Yagi, Masatoshi; Aiba, Nobuyuki

For the purpose of understanding physics of fast magnetic reconnection in collisionless plasmas, acceleration mechanism of the tearing instability is analyzed by taking a variational approach to a two-fluid model. This approach has recently shown that the electronindertia effect induces acceleration of the unstable growth in the nonlinear regime. In this talk, the electron temperature effect is further incorporated into the model, and its role in the acceleration mechanism is discussed.
