abstract = "Magnetic reconnection is a complex mechanism that converts
magnetic energy into particle kinetic energy and plasma thermal
energy in space and astrophysical plasmas. In addition, magnetic
reconnection and turbulence appear to be intimately related in
plasmas. We analyze the magnetic-field turbulence at the exhaust
of four reconnection events detected in the solar wind using the
Jensen-Shannon complexity-entropy index. The interplanetary
magnetic field is decomposed into the LMN coordinates using the
hybrid minimum variance technique. The first event is
characterized by an extended exhaust period that allows us to
obtain the scaling exponents of higher-order structure functions
of magnetic-field fluctuations. By computing the
complexity-entropy index we demonstrate that a higher degree of
intermittency is related to lower entropy and higher complexity in
the inertial subrange. We also compute the complexity-entropy
index of three other reconnection exhaust events. For all four
events, the B ( L ) component of the magnetic field displays a
lower degree of entropy and higher degree of complexity than the B
( M ) and B ( N ) components. Our results show that coherent
structures can be responsible for decreasing entropy and
increasing complexity within reconnection exhausts in
magnetic-field turbulence.",
