Dynamical Stability of the Power Law K-essence Dark Energy Model with a New Interaction
Qile Zhang, Wei Fang, Chenggang Shu
We investigate the cosmological evolution of the power law K-essence dark energy (DE) model with a new interaction in FRWL spacetime. Th…
Efficient Nonthermal Ion and Electron Acceleration Enabled by the Flux-Rope Kink Instability in 3D Nonrelativistic Magnetic Reconnection
Qile Zhang, Fan Guo, William Daughton +2
The relaxation of field-line tension during magnetic reconnection gives rise to a universal Fermi acceleration process involving the curvature drift of particles. However, the effi…
Instabilities and Turbulence in Low- Guide Field Reconnection Exhausts with Kinetic Riemann Simulations
Qile Zhang, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak
The role of turbulence in low-, guide-field reconnection exhausts is explored in 2D reconnection and 2D and 3D Riemann simulations. The structure of the exhaust and associated t…
Particle Heating and Energy Partition in Low- Guide Field Reconnection with Kinetic Riemann Simulations
Qile Zhang, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak
Kinetic Riemann simulations have been completed to explore particle heating during guide field reconnection in the low- environment of the inner heliosphere and the solar corona…
