Phys. Rev. Lett. 66, 1458 (1991)https://ireap.umd.edu/10.1103/PhysRevLett.66.14581991Journal ArticlePlasma, Accelerator, and Nuclear Physics

A model of the sawtooth crash is presented in which electron inertia combined with anomalous diffusion of the current replace classical resistivity in allowing magnetic reconnection to occur.
