    • Characteristics of particles and fields in the flow-bouncing region are studied based on multipoint observations from Cluster located at 13-15R(E) downtail during a substorm event around 12:50 UT on 7 September 2007. The Cluster spacecraft were separated by a distance of up to 10,000 km and allowed to determine the mesoscale evolution of the current sheet as well as the development of the dipolarization front. We show that the flow bouncing took place associated with a tailward-directed j x B force in a disturbed current sheet in addition to an enhanced tailward pressure gradient force. Multiple Earthward propagating dipolarization fronts accompanied by enhanced flux of energetic electrons were observed before the flow bouncing. The sequence of events started with a localized dipolarization front and ended with a large scale (>10R(E)) dipolarization front accompanied by a major increase in energetic electrons at all spacecraft and immediately followed by flow bouncing. Multiple dipolarization fronts result in the formation of compressed magnetic field with a plasma bulge bounded by thin ion-scale current layers, a favorable condition for flow bouncing. These observations suggest that to understand the flow bouncing and related acceleration of plasma in the near-Earth tail, both the large-scale MHD properties and the transient and small-scale effect of the plasma interaction with the Earth-dipole field need to be taken into account.

  • Asymmetry in the current sheet and secondary magnetic flux ropes during guide field magnetic reconnection
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: Journal of Geophysical Research. - 0148-0227 .- 2156-2202. ; 117, s. A07223-

    • A magnetic reconnection event with a moderate guide field encountered by Cluster in the near-Earth tail on 28 August 2002 is reported. The guide field points dawnward during this event. The quadrupolar structure of the Hall magnetic field within the ion diffusion region is distorted toward the northern hemisphere in the earthward part while toward the southern hemisphere tailward part of X-line. Observations of current density and electron pitch angle distribution indicate that the distorted quadrupolar structure is formed due to a deformed Hall electron current system. Cluster crossed the ion diffusion region from south to north earthward of the X-line. An electron density cavity is confirmed in the northern separatrix layer while a thin current layer (TCL) is measured in the southern separatrix layer. The TCL is formed due to electrons injected into the X-line along the magnetic field. These observations are different from simulation results where the cavity is produced associated with inflow electrons along the southern separatrix while the strong current sheet appears with the outflow electron beam along the northern separatrix. The energy of the inflowing electron in the separatrix layer could extend up to 10 keV. Energetic electron fluxes up to 50 keV have a clear peak in the TCL. The length of the separatrix layer is estimated to be at least 65 c/omega(pi). These observations suggest that electrons could be pre-accelerated before they are ejected into the X-line region along the separatrix. Multiple secondary flux ropes moving earthward are observed within the diffusion region. These secondary flux ropes are all identified earthward of the observed TCL. These observations further suggest there are numerous small scale structures within the ion diffusion region.
