✦ Synopsis

In the paper, the accelerated effect of ions has been discussed. The transversal magnetic disturbance is able to bring about the magnetic annihilation and merge in some cometary area. The non-steady-state reconnection process can transform the magnetic energy of some cometary area into the kinetic energy of plasma. In addition, the "two stream instability" caused by both solar wind and cometary plasmas exists in Type-I tail, it can also lead the paticles to be accelerated and heated in the plasma tail.
