Horton, W. and Tajima, T. (1990). Decay of correlations and the collisionless conductivity in the geomagnetic tail. Geophysical Research Letters 17: doi: 10.1029/89GL03596. issn: 0094-8276.

The collisionless electrical conductivity is calculated for the geomagnetic tail from the stochastic orbits in the plasma sheet. The new conductivity formula is important for the stochastic heating of the plasma sheet and modifies the Galeev-Zelenyi formulas for the collisionless reconnection growth rate for geomagnetic substorms. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1990
