Magnetic mirror effect as a trigger of collisionless magnetic reconnection

Abstract

A new mechanism of collisionless magnetic reconnection is proposed. It is based on the current density redistribution along the magnetic field lines caused by the reflection of meandering particles due to the magnetic mirror effect from the would-be reconnection region. (author).
