Abstract
Collisionless magnetic reconnection, which converts the magnetic energy into the kinetic energy of plasma particles via the heating or acceleration, has been believed widely to be able to explain various eruptive phenomena such as solar flares and geomagnetic storms. However, the microphysical mechanism of anomalous resistivity in the collisionless magnetic reconnection is still an unsolved fundamental problem. Among the many physical mechanisms of anomalous resistivity generation, chaos-induced resistivity based on the chaos of the charged particle orbits near the magnetic neutral point is not the most popular formation mechanism, but its microscopic physical picture is the clearest. This paper first briefly reviews the early research and physical model of the chaos-induced resistivity in collisionless magnetic reconnection region, introduces the recent research progress of the chaos-induced resistivity, and expounds the future research direction of the chaos-induced resistivity.
