             abstract = "By comparing an electron-only reconnection event with a 
                         traditional reconnection event observed in the magnetotail, we 
                         illustrate the differences between and similarities of the two 
                         events. The electron behaviors are very similar in both events, 
                         but intensities of the electron flows and temperature in the 
                         traditional reconnection are much stronger than those in the 
                         electron-only reconnection. The Hall electric field in the 
                         traditional reconnection occurs on the ion-scale and is deflected 
                         from the normal direction by the significant magnetic field 
                         reconnected, while this field varies on the electron-scale and 
                         points to the middle plane in the electron-only reconnection. The 
                         comparison indicates that the electrons are undergoing the same 
                         process in both events, and the electron-only reconnection was 
                         prior to the traditional reconnection. The Hall electric field 
                         could control the form of reconnection: producing either 
                         electron-only reconnection or traditional reconnection.",
