Abstract

Abstract

By means of 2D-hybrid simulation code, magnetic driven reconnection in the low plasma β case. Results show that the Alfven waves can be produced in the magnetic reconnection process. The newborn ions can be pitch angle scattered by Alfven waves and have the shell distribution. Some newborn ions are accelerated and the maximum energy is about 4m_iV_A0²/2. The acceleration takes about 100/Ω_i and is thus extremely rapidly acceleration process.
