The Role of Magnetic Reconnection in Energizing Protons and Heavier Ions at the Heliospheric Current Sheet
Magnetic reconnection at the heliospheric current sheet produces power-law ion distributions whose spectral index and Emax scaling with charge-to-mass ratio are consistent with Parker Solar Probe data.
