Аннотация: A new model of the electron pressure anisotropy in the electron diffusion region in collisionless magnetic reconnection is presented for the case of antiparallel configuration of magnetic fields. The plasma anisotropy is investigated as source of collisionless dissipation. By separating electrons in the vicinity of the neutral line into two broad classes of inflowing and accelerating populations, it is possible to derive a simple closure for the off-diagonal electron pressure component. The appearance of these two electron populations near the neutral line is responsible for the anisotropy and collisionless dissipation in the magnetic reconnection. Particle-in-cell simulations verify the proposed model, confirming first the presence of two particle populations and second the analytical results for the off-diagonal electron pressure component. Furthermore, test-particle calculations are performed to compare our approach with the model of electron pressure anisotropy in the inner electron diffusion region by Fujimoto and Sydora [Phys.

Аннотация: An analytical model of steady-state magnetic reconnection in a collisionless incompressible plasma is developed using the electron Hall MHD approximation. It is shown that the initial complicated system of equations may be split into a system of independent equations, and the solution of the problem is based on the solution of the Grad-Shafranov equation for a magnetic potential. This equation is found to be fundamental for the whole problem analysis. An electric field potential jump across the electron diffusion region and the separatrices is proved to be the necessary condition for steady- state reconnection. Besides of this fact, it is found that the protons in-plane motion obeys to Bernoulli law. The solution obtained demonstrates all essential Hall reconnection features, namely proton acceleration up to Alfven velocities and the formation of Hall current systems and a magnetic field structure as expected.
