Acceleration of Heavy Ions at Non-Relativistic Collisionless Shocks
Damiano Caprioli, Luca Orusa, Miha Cernetic +2
We investigate the process of Diffusive Shock Acceleration (DSA) of particles with mass number to charge number ratios , e.g., partially-ionized heavy ions. To this end, w…
Efficient Particle Acceleration in 2.5-Dimensional, Hybrid-Kinetic Simulations of Decaying, Supersonic, Plasma Turbulence
Keyan Gootkin, Colby Haggerty, Damiano Caprioli +1
Collisionless, turbulent plasmas surround the Earth, from the magnetosphere to the intergalactic medium, and the fluctuations within them affect nearly every field in the space sci…
A "Faux-Shock" Method for Hybrid Simulations of Astrophysical Shocks
Emily R. Simon, Damiano Caprioli, Colby C. Haggerty +1
We demonstrate a novel setup for hybrid particle-in-cell simulations designed to isolate the physics of the shock precursor over long time periods for significantly lower computati…
Plasma Instabilities Dominate Radioactive Transients Magnetic Fields: The self-confinement of leptons in Type Ia and Core-Collapse Supernovae, and Kilonovae
Dhvanil D. Desai, Colby C. Haggerty, Benjamin J. Shappee +8
The light curves of radioactive transients, such as supernovae and kilonovae, are powered by the decay of radioisotopes, which release high-energy leptons through and d…
Maximum energy achievable in supernova remnants: self-consistent simulations
Emily Simon, Damiano Caprioli, Colby Haggerty +1
It has been long believed that oblique and quasi-perpendicular configurations in supernova remnants (SNRs) were inefficient at injecting ions into diffusive shock acceleration (DSA…
The saturation of the Bell instability and its implications for cosmic ray acceleration and transport
D. Caprioli, G. Zacharegkas, C. Haggerty +2
The non-resonant (Bell) streaming instability driven by energetic particles is crucial for producing amplified magnetic fields that are key to the acceleration of cosmic rays (CRs)…
