In a magnetotail reconnection event, MMS observed relativistic electrons (80 to 560 keV) enhanced in the separatrix layer with an 'ankle' spectrum and a flow direction consistent with origin at the X-line.

Relativistic Electron Acceleration and the 'Ankle' Spectral Feature in Earth's Magnetotail Reconnection
In a magnetotail reconnection event, MMS observed relativistic electrons (80 to 560 keV) enhanced in the separatrix layer with an 'ankle' spectrum and a flow direction consistent with origin at the X-line.
