Perpendicular profiles measured across the centroid of the current layer for Run s27L800 at several times: ct/L = 3.8, 4.1, 4.4 (dashed lines), and ct/L = 4.7 (solid lines). The panels show (from top left to bottom right) (1) number density of electrons and positrons normalized to the initial value, (2) average energy of electrons and positrons, (3) three components of the current density normalized to the initial number density, (4) three components of the mean velocity of positrons, (5) three components of the magnetic field, (6) three components of the electric field and the ﹩({\boldsymbol{E}}\cdot {\boldsymbol{B}})/| {\boldsymbol{B}}| ﹩ value. Subscript “﹩\parallel /\perp ﹩” means the component parallel/perpendicular to the major axis of the current layer. The horizontal scale is in units of ρ0. Note that the nominal skin depth in this case is de ≃ 3.7ρ0.
