• Particle Acceleration in the Magnetotail and Aurora (2012, methodology): “…order to understand the particle acceleration in reconnection, the nonlinear time evolution of a thin current sheet has been studied by many different research groups (e.g., Hoshino et al. 2001; Drake et al. 2003; Pritchett 2008; Oka et al. 2010) using particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations.”
• Electron-scale measurements of magnetic reconnection in space (2016, background): “This normal component is predicted by simulations (17), and in a simple sense is caused by the deeper penetration into the magnetosphere of themagnetosheath ions because of their larger gyroradius relative to electrons with similar energies.”
