  The effect of an external guide field on the turbulence-like properties of
magnetic reconnection is studied using five different 2.5D kinetic
particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The magnetic energy spectrum is found to
exhibit a slope of approximately -5/3 in the inertial range, independent of the
guide field. On the contrary, the electric field spectrum, in the inertial
range steepens more with the guide field and approaches a slope of -5/3. In
addition, spectral analysis of the different terms of the generalized Ohm's law
is performed and found to be consistent with PIC simulations of turbulence and
MMS observations. Finally, guide field effect on the energy transfer behavior
is examined using von-K\'arm\'an Howarth (vKH) equation based on incompressible
Hall-MHD. The general characteristics of the vKH equation with constant rate of
energy transfer in the inertial range, is consistent in all the simulations.
This suggests that the qualitative behavior of energy spectrum, and energy
transfer in reconnection is similar to that of turbulence, indicating that
reconnection fundamentally involves an energy cascade.
