The overarching goal of this focus group is to understand the physics of collisionless magnetic reconnection on magnetospheric length scales (hundreds of ion inertial lengths). To this end, we have identified several broad questions:
 
−
 
 
−
* '''Q1''':Can global resistive magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) codes accurately model magnetospheric reconnection?
 
−
* '''Q2''':How does the physics of collisionless reconnection observed in Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulations scale up to reality?
 
−
* '''Q3''':How do we extend resistive MHD models to model collisionless physics?
