Fundamental role of ion viscosity on fast magnetic reconnection in large-guide-field regimes

Nonlinear analytical theory of magnetic reconnection with a large guide field is presented for the first time. We confirm that two distinct steady-state reconnection regimes are possible depending on the relative size of the diffusion region thickness versus the sound gyroradius.
