Abstract
In this paper we present new numerical simulations in the collisionless regime which confirm that magnetic reconnection remains a fast process in the nonlinear phase. We extend this analysis to finite temperature regimes where electron pressure effects are important and we find that in the early nonlinear phase the growth of the magnetic island is even faster than in the cold electron limit.
