Electron Acceleration during Macroscale Magnetic Reconnection
Harry Arnold, James Drake, Marc Swisdak +8
The first self-consistent simulations of electron acceleration during magnetic reconnection in a macroscale system are presented. Consistent with solar flare observations the spect…
Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena throughout the Universe
H. Ji, A. Alt, S. Antiochos +97
This white paper summarizes major scientific challenges and opportunities in understanding magnetic reconnection and related explosive phenomena as a fundamental plasma process.
Reconnection from a Turbulence Perspective
S. Adhikari, M. A. Shay, T. N. Parashar +6
The spectral properties associated with laminar, anti-parallel reconnection are examined using a 2.5D kinetic particle in cell (PIC) simulation. Both the reconnection rate and the…
Large-Scale Parallel Electric Fields and Return Currents in a Global Simulation Model
Harry Arnold, James Drake, Marc Swisdak +1
A new computational model, kglobal, is being developed to explore energetic electron production via magnetic reconnection in macroscale systems. The model is based on the discovery…
The role of three-dimensional transport in driving enhanced electron acceleration during magnetic reconnection
J. T. Dahlin, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak
Magnetic reconnection is an important driver of energetic particles in many astrophysical phenomena. Using kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, we explore the impact of thre…
