| Zusammenfassung |
| The spontaneous onset of magnetic reconnection in thin plane
collisionless current sheets is shown to result from a thermal-anisotropy
driven non-relativistic magnetic electron Weibel-mode, generating
seed-magnetic field X-points in the centre of the current layer.
The proposed mechanism is of larger generality. It also works in the
presence of magnetic guide fields. |
