AB  - <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>                  <jats:p>                    We investigate the magnetic (                    <jats:italic>                      <jats:bold>B</jats:bold>                    </jats:italic>                    ) and electric (                    <jats:italic>                      <jats:bold>E</jats:bold>                    </jats:italic>                    ) field spectra in the dissipation range of strong turbulence of a collisionless plasma. This investigation, which is relevant to turbulence studies in many astrophysical settings, is enabled by high-resolution measurements from the four-spacecraft Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission in the Earth’s magnetotail.                    <jats:italic>                      <jats:bold>B</jats:bold>                    </jats:italic>                    and                    <jats:italic>                      <jats:bold>E</jats:bold>                    </jats:italic>                    spectra are derived as a function of the product of the wave number and electron skin depth (                    <jats:inline-formula>                      <jats:tex-math>                                              </jats:tex-math>                      <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" overflow="scroll">                        <mml:mrow>                          <mml:mfenced close="|" open="|">                            <mml:mrow>                              <mml:mi mathvariant="bold-italic">k</mml:mi>                            </mml:mrow>                          </mml:mfenced>                        </mml:mrow>                        <mml:msub>                          <mml:mrow>                            <mml:mi>d</mml:m
