Log-log plots of peak reconnection rate (top panel) and peak current (bottom panel) against η. Black points: two pulses sent at the same time (diamonds: v₀ = 0.01, squares: v₀ = 0.02). Green points: one pulse (asterisks: v₀ = 0.01, triangles: v₀ = 0.02). The lines depict the lines of best fit for two pulses sent at the same time (solid) and one pulse (dashed) in each case. (This figure is available in color in the electronic form.)
