Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays Accelerated by Magnetically Dominated Turbulence
Luca Comisso, Glennys R. Farrar, Marco S. Muzio
Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs), particles characterized by energies exceeding eV, are generally believed to be accelerated electromagnetically in high-energy astr…
Neutrino and pair creation in reconnection-powered coronae of accreting black holes
D. Karavola, M. Petropoulou, D. F. G. Fiorillo +2
A ubiquitous feature of accreting black hole systems is their hard X-ray emission which is thought to be produced through Comptonization of soft photons by electrons and positrons…
A magnetized strongly turbulent corona as the source of neutrinos from NGC 1068
Damiano F. G. Fiorillo, Luca Comisso, Enrico Peretti +2
The cores of active galactic nuclei (AGN) are potential accelerators of 10-100 TeV cosmic rays, in turn producing high-energy neutrinos. This picture was confirmed by the compellin…
Concurrent Particle Acceleration and Pitch-Angle Anisotropy Driven by Magnetic Reconnection: Ion-Electron Plasmas
Luca Comisso
Particle acceleration and pitch-angle anisotropy resulting from magnetic reconnection are investigated in highly magnetized ion-electron plasmas. By means of fully kinetic particle…
