Cluster observations of an intense normal component of the electric field at a thin reconnecting current sheet in the tail and its role in the shock-like acceleration of the ion fluid into the separatrix region (2005, background): “A second mechanism for accelerating ions away from the x line in the outflow direction could be an electric field component in the x direction [Biskamp, 2000; Shay et al., 2001].”
The Interplay of Magnetically Dominated Turbulence and Magnetic Reconnection in Producing Nonthermal Particles (2019, background): “These are “secondary” magnetic islands (flux ropes in 3D) that are produced by magnetic reconnection (Biskamp 2000).”
A model of ELM filament energy evolution due to parallel losses (2005, positive): “It applies the ideas developed for sawtooth collapse by field line reconnection in the core plasma to the X-point region ( Biskamp 2000 ) and is supported by the evidence of strike point movement during particularly large ELMs on JET (Solano et al 2005).”
