A 3D fully kinetic simulation shows that the lower-hybrid drift instability disturbs the front of magnetic reconnection outflow jets and additionally causes energy dissipation. The result is very consistent with a disturbance observed at the dipolarization front (DF) in Earth's magnetotail by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. A fully kinetic dispersion relation solver, validated by the MMS observations, further predicts that the disturbance of the reconnection jet front could occur over different parameter regimes in space plasmas including Earth's DF and solar flares.
