Understand

Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of collisionless magnetic reconnection are performed to study asymmetric reconnection in which an outflow is blocked by a hard wall while leaving sufficiently large room for the outflow of the opposite direction.

This condition leads to a slow, roughly constant motion of the diffusion region away from the wall, the so-called `X-line retreat'.
The typical retreat speed is ~0.1 times the Alfven speed.
At the diffusion region, ion flow pattern shows strong asymmetry and the ion stagnation point and the X-line are not collocated.
