             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.",
