Title: Structure of plasma sheet current in distant magnetotail: Doubly humped electric current sheet
Abstract: The structure of plasma sheet in the distant magnetotail observed by the GEOTAIL satellite is examined. We discuss that the structure of the plasma sheet can be expressed as a doubly humped current sheet, which is quite different from the standard Harris-type current sheet. Possible theoretical models to explain the formation of the doubly humped current sheet are shortly discussed.
