Magnetic Reconnection–driven Energization of Protons up to ∼400 keV at the Near-Sun Heliospheric Current Sheet

We report observations of direct evidence of energetic protons being accelerated above ∼400 keV within the reconnection exhaust of a heliospheric current sheet (HCS) crossing by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (PSP) at a distance of ∼16.25 solar radii ( R _s ) from the Sun. Inside the exhaust, both the re...
