Self-regulation of the reconnecting current layer in relativistic pair plasma reconnection
S. Zenitani, M. Hesse
We investigate properties of the reconnecting current layer in relativistic pair plasma reconnection. We found that the current layer self-regulates its thickness when the current…

The Role of the Guide Field in Relativistic Pair Plasma Reconnection
S. Zenitani, M. Hoshino
We study the role of the guide field in relativistic magnetic reconnection in a Harris current sheet of pair () plasmas, using linear theories and particle-in-cell (PIC) s…

The role of the Weibel instability at the reconnection jet front in relativistic pair plasma reconnection
S. Zenitani, M. Hesse
The role of the Weibel instability is investigated for the first time in the context of the large-scale magnetic reconnection problem. A late-time evolution of magnetic reconnectio…
