In trans-relativistic reconnection simulations, the out-of-plane component of the parallel electric field at X-points is what injects electrons into the nonthermal tail, and more X-points per unit length produce harder spectra.

The Mechanism of Electron Injection and Acceleration in Trans-Relativistic Reconnection
In trans-relativistic reconnection simulations, the out-of-plane component of the parallel electric field at X-points is what injects electrons into the nonthermal tail, and more X-points per unit length produce harder spectra.
