Scientific paper

Ion tearing in a thin collisionless neutral sheet is investigated using hybrid (particle ion, massless fluid electron) simulations in which dissipation effects are included through a model of the full electron pressure tensor in which self-consistently generated anisotropies are reduced via an isotropization time factor. The linear growth rates and ion dynamics are in qualitative agreement with linear theory and one-component simulations. The reconnection rate increases with the isotropization time.
