Excitation of whistler and slow-X waves by runaway electrons in a collisional plasma
Qile Zhang, Yanzeng Zhang, Xian-Zhu Tang
Runaway electrons are known to provide robust ideal or collisionless kinetic drive for plasma wave instabilities in both the whistler and slow-X branches, via the anomalous Doppler…

Plasma Dynamics and Nonthermal Particle Acceleration in 3D Nonrelativistic Magnetic Reconnection
Qile Zhang, Fan Guo, William Daughton +2
Understanding plasma dynamics and nonthermal particle acceleration in 3D magnetic reconnection has been a long-standing challenge. In this paper, we explore these problems by perfo…
