    "abstract": "We use the results of a three-dimensional kinetic simulation of an Harris\ncurrent sheet to propose an explanation and to reproduce the ISEE-1/2, Geotail,\nand Cluster observations of the magnetotail current sheet structure. Current\nsheet flapping, current density bifurcation, and reconnection are explained as\nthe results of the kink and tearing instabilities, which dominate the current\nsheet evolution.",
