The Maximum Particle Energy Gain During Magnetic Reconnection
Zhiyu Yin, Harry Arnold, James F Drake +1
The factors that control the maximum energy attained by protons and electrons during magnetic reconnection are investigated analytically and using large-scale simulations with the…
Slow Shock Formation Upstream of Reconnecting Current Sheets
Harry Arnold, James Drake, Marc Swisdak +3
The formation, development and impact of slow shocks in the upstream region of reconnecting current layers are explored. Slow shocks have been documented in the upstream region of…
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…
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…
A computational model for exploring particle acceleration during reconnection in macro-scale systems
J. F. Drake, H. Arnold, M. Swisdak +1
A new computational model is presented suitable for exploring the self-consistent production of energetic electrons during magnetic reconnection in macroscale systems. The equation…
