Scientific paper

Based on the group velocity vector of the whistler mode, we predict the range of whistler-regime reconnection rate depending on the half width (w) of the current sheet (CS. During the reconnection process electromagnetic perturbations (EMPs) are generated in the localized diffusion region (DR, which acts like an antenna and radiates whistler waves for certain range of CS widths. The reconnection structure (exhaust) is approximately the radiation pattern of the DR antenna and it is determined by the group velocity directions. Since the whistler waves originate from the electromagnetic perturbations (EMPs) localized in the DR, we calculate R over a range of the discrete values of the perpendicular wave number (k
