Abstract: | Evolution of a Harris current sheet in the presence of an electric field is studied numerically. An explicit scheme is used to recalculate the particle distribution function with respect to velocities. The mechanism of formation of electric fields is analyzed on the basis of the phase volume conservation theorem. The effects of 1D sheet compression and electron and ion acceleration near the magnetic field zero line are described. |
