Electron distribution functions in a current sheet
Abstract
Using a novel directional velocity analyzer the electron distribution function f(v,r,t) is measured in a magnetic-field-line reconnection experiment. Runaway electrons are observed inside the current sheet, a result important for transport processes and instabilities.
