Transition to Petschek Reconnection in Subrelativistic Pair Plasmas: Implications for Particle Acceleration
Adam Robbins, Anatoly Spitkovsky
While relativistic magnetic reconnection in pair plasmas has emerged in recent years as a candidate for the origin of radiation from extreme astrophysical environments, the corresp…
A Field-Particle Correlation Analysis of a Perpendicular Magnetized Collisionless Shock: I. Theory
Gregory G. Howes, James Juno, Jason M. TenBarge +3
Collisionless shocks play an important role in space and astrophysical plasmas by irreversibly converting the energy of the incoming supersonic plasma flows into other forms, inclu…
A Field-Particle Correlation Analysis of a Perpendicular Magnetized Collisionless Shock
James Juno, Gregory G. Howes, Jason M. TenBarge +5
Using the field-particle correlation technique, we examine the particle energization in a 1D-2V continuum Vlasov--Maxwell simulation of a perpendicular magnetized collisionless sho…
Kinetic simulations of electron pre-energization by magnetized collisionless shocks in expanding laboratory plasmas
K. V. Lezhnin, W. Fox, D. B. Schaeffer +4
Collisionless shocks are common features in space and astrophysical systems where supersonic plasma flows interact, such as in the solar wind, the heliopause, and supernova remnant…
[Plasma 2020 Decadal] The Material Properties of Weakly Collisional, High-Beta Plasmas
M. W. Kunz, J. Squire, S. A. Balbus +14
This white paper, submitted for the Plasma 2020 Decadal Survey, concerns the physics of weakly collisional, high-beta plasmas -- plasmas in which the thermal pressure dominates ove…
