A particle model for magnetotail neutral sheet equilibria
Abstract
A particle model of the magnetotail neutral sheet self-consistent structure was developed by assuming that the thickness of the neutral sheet is much less than the thickness of the plasma sheet. This made it possible to approximate the neutral sheet as an x-independent structure. The role of nonlinear particle motions in determining the conductivity and the global current sheet structure is investigated.
