Electron Heating by Parallel Electric Fields in Magnetotail Reconnection
In 140 magnetotail reconnection events, the inferred parallel-electric-field acceleration potential reaches up to 10 times the inflow electron temperature and scales as the electron Alfvén speed times the square root of the inflow temperature.
