Driven Collisionless Reconnection of Force-free Flux Tubes: From Onset to Coalescence
Camille Granier, Daniel Groselj, Luca Comisso +1
We investigate the onset of driven collisionless reconnection and plasmoid formation in a magnetically dominated pair plasma, using 2D Particle-in-Cell simulations. Two force-free…

Energetic spectra from semi-implicit particle-in-cell simulations of magnetic reconnection
K. M. Schoeffler, F. Bacchini, K. Kormann +2
Astrophysical observations suggest that magnetic reconnection in relativistic plasmas plays an important role in the acceleration of energetic particles. Modeling this accurately r…

BxC Toolkit: Generating Tailored Turbulent 3D Magnetic Fields
Daniela Maci, Rony Keppens, Fabio Bacchini
Turbulent states are ubiquitous in plasmas and the understanding of turbulence is fundamental in modern astrophysics. Numerical simulations, which are the state-of-the-art approach…
