dHybridR: a Hybrid--Particle-in-Cell Code Including Relativistic Ion Dynamics

Colby C. Haggerty, Damiano Caprioli

We present the first plasma simulations obtained with the code dHybridR, a hybrid particle-in-cell code with fluid electrons and both thermal and energetic ions that retain relativ…

Modeling the Saturation of the Bell Instability Using Hybrid Simulations

Georgios Zacharegkas, Damiano Caprioli, Colby Haggerty

The nonresonant cosmic ray instability, predicted by Bell (2004), is thought to play an important role in the acceleration and confinement of cosmic rays (CRs) close to supernova r…

Hybrid Simulations of the Resonant and Non-Resonant Cosmic Ray Streaming Instability

Colby Haggerty, Damiano Caprioli, Ellen Zweibel

Using hybrid simulations (kinetic ions--fluid electrons), we test the linear theory predictions of the cosmic ray (CR) streaming instability. We consider two types of CR distributi…

The Issue with Diffusive Shock Acceleration

Damiano Caprioli, Colby C. Haggerty

We discuss the recent developments in the theory of diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) by using both first-principle kinetic plasma simulations and analytical theory based on the s…

Transition from ion-coupled to electron-only reconnection: Basic physics and implications for plasma turbulence

P. Sharma Pyakurel, M. A. Shay, T. D. Phan +9

Using kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, we simulate reconnection conditions appropriate for the magnetosheath and solar wind, i.e., plasma beta (ratio of gas pressure to…
