What is Electron Heating in Magnetic Reconnection about?

Electron bulk heating during magnetic reconnection with symmetric inflow conditions is examined using kinetic particle-in-cell simulations. Inflowing plasma parameters are varied over a wide range of conditions, and the increase in electron temperature is measured in the exhaust well downstream of the x-line. The degree of electron heating is well correlated with the inflowing Alfven speed cAr based on the reconnecting magnetic field through the relation DTe ¼ 0:033 mi c2 Ar, where DTe is the in
