In-Situ Observations of MRIn-Situ Observations of MR High-speed plasma flows, energization of particles and other MR signatures were observed long ago by in-situ measurements (Phan et al., 2000; Hultqvist, 2000).
Evidences of collisionless MR have been detected by Geotail and Wind spacecraft (Deng et al., 2001; Øieroset
et al., 2001 ). 4-spacecraft of Cluster mission provides unique opportunity to study MR, with the MR events in/near the diffusion region being of great interest.

How to detect the “Null” ?How to detect the “Null” ? A mathematical isolated singular point Hard to determine the null based on
magnetic field data in a local point. 1) right at the null, the relative
measurement error is infinite with any small error-bar of data.
2) a single point measurement can’t distinguish the isolated null from a magnetic neutral line or a neutral sheet.
The null is associated with the topological property of its neighborhood.
1. The Poincare index method2. The linear interpolation method
After J.M. Greene ( 1988, 1992 , 993), Garth, C. et al. (2004) , Zhao et al. (2005), etc.
Calculating the index of a singularity by enclosing it with a surface small enough not to contain any other singularities.

ConclusionsConclusions All four types of nulls, A, B, As and Bs, have been detected
by Cluster in situ measurements; Typical 3D geometry feature of Bs-type null (flux tube) has
been captured; The scale of structure is about the order of local di
An A-B null pair and a Bs-A null pair with their neighbouring geometry are identified in a typical reconnection event.
The separation between the nulls is measured as ~ 0.7±0.3 di,
A lower hybrid oscillation is also identified in the immediate vicinity of the line with a wavelength of ~ de,
It is the first in situ evidence for complete 3D reconnection geometry and associated electron dynamics
