摘要：
Hybrid simulations with particle protons and fluid electrons show that cross-field turbulence generates current layers. These can be associated with directional discontinuities observed in the solar wind. The layers can evolve quickly and can present a challenge to identification if this occurs in the solar wind. The protons become preferentially heated across the magnetic field in association with the turbulence. Some protons are likely demagnetized and are possibly heated by a stochastic mechanism in association with the turbulence generated layers.
