    Acceleration of >40 keV Electrons in Near-Earth Magnetotail Reconnection Events

    Reconnection of magnetic field lines have been invoked as an acceleration mechanism producing significant amounts of super-thermal electrons in the high energy range. However, in a recent paper by Åsnes et al....
