Simulations and analytic calculations of the steady-state structure of the dissipation region during collisionless reconnection are presented. Ions are treated as particles and electrons as a dissipative fluid. The mechanism for electron/ion momentum coupling during collisionless reconnection is elucidated. A limiting reconnection rate results as the ions ''blowout'' the magnetic field in the dissipation region. The implications for understanding substorm dynamics are discussed. |
